Swelling of the gums may be caused by periodontitis, apical periodontitis and other diseases, there is no authoritative literature on the fastest way to eliminate swelling, if the periodontitis can be reduced by periodontal treatment, if the apical periodontitis can be reduced by root canal treatment.
1. Periodontitis: when there is inflammation in the gums, the tissues are swollen, and the interdental papillae are rounded. Perfect periodontal treatment includes basic treatment, such as scaling, scraping, root planing, etc., as well as periodontal surgical treatment and periodontal support treatment.
2. Apical periodontitis: When apical periodontitis develops to the stage of subperiosteal and submucosal abscess, gingival swelling may appear. The treatment is root canal therapy, which controls the inflammation of the apical periodontal area through root canal preparation, root canal disinfection and root canal filling, in order to reduce the swelling. If there is abscess formation, incision and drainage are required.
It is recommended to go to a regular medical institution to receive professional treatment.
