Whether or not the pus needs to be eliminated before extraction depends on the situation. If extraction helps to establish drainage and shorten the course of treatment, it is not necessary; if extraction is more traumatic, etc., it is necessary.
If the tooth is abscessed, i.e. in the acute inflammatory phase, whether the tooth can be extracted at this time should be determined on a case-by-case basis. The main considerations include the location of the affected tooth, the degree of inflammation, the degree of difficulty of the operation, the patient’s general condition.
In acute osteomyelitis of the jaw, the affected tooth is already loosened, and extraction of the affected tooth will help establish drainage, reduce complications and shorten the course of treatment; in acute cellulitis, the affected tooth is a complex tooth, and the surgery is difficult and traumatic, which may spread the inflammation and aggravate the condition.
If there is any discomfort, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time for treatment.
