Flesh pain next to the tooth may be gingival papillitis, wisdom tooth pericoronitis, periodontal abscess and other possibilities, requiring anti-inflammatory treatment, wisdom tooth extraction and periodontal sequence treatment.
1. Gingival papillitis: common in acute injury or acute attack of gingivitis. In the former case, removal of the irritating factor is sufficient, while in the latter case, supragingival cleaning is required.
2. Wisdom tooth pericoronitis: due to wisdom tooth obstruction, resulting in part of the gingiva covering the surface of the crown, due to food impaction or low resistance, resulting in inflammation. In the acute stage, it is recommended to use cephalosporin antibiotics and nitroimidazole antibiotics for anti-inflammatory treatment, and remove the wisdom teeth after the symptoms improve for root treatment.
3. Periodontal abscess: Swelling of the gums due to an acute attack of bacteria in the periodontal pockets, usually with significant pain. Periodontal sequential treatment is required, and in severe cases, extraction is necessary.
A variety of oral diseases can lead to flesh pain next to the teeth. It is recommended that patients with symptoms seek prompt medical attention to clarify the diagnosis and treat the symptoms. Use medications as directed by your doctor.
