The swelling of the face caused by inflammation of the gums usually requires treatment for about a week to basically recover, and the exact number of days it takes to heal depends on the patient’s physical condition, the degree of the disease and other factors. Pulpitis is a disease of the oral system caused by the inflammatory reaction of the pulp tissue, and is divided into two types: reversible pulpitis and irreversible pulpitis. Reversible pulpitis is usually treated with oral or topical medications to eliminate pain, facial swelling, fever and other manifestations of the disease within a week. Commonly used types of medications include benzoylmetronidazole dispersible tablets, compound gold and silver granules, 1% hydrogen peroxide solution, etc. However, patients with irreversible pulpitis, whose symptoms are recurrent and persistent, often need to be treated by surgical procedures in combination with their disease conditions, and the swelling can generally be eliminated within a week after surgery. If not properly treated, the face swelling and other symptoms may persist and recur. During daily oral care, it is important to master the correct method of brushing teeth. If possible, you can receive regular scaling treatment at the hospital to reduce the risk of recurrence of the disease.
