There is always pus when a big tooth is cracked, first of all, cut the pus bag and drain it with rubber strips, usually change the rubber strips every two days, wait until the pus disappears and then choose extraction or root canal treatment according to the situation. The details are as follows:
1. Extraction: After the pus is drained out, take an apical radiograph of the tooth, and if the root resorption occurs, take anti-inflammatory drugs such as amoxicillin capsule and metronidazole orally, and then extract the tooth after the pus disappears, and then consider dental implants or other prosthetic restorations at a later stage.
2. Root canal treatment: After the tooth pus is drained and the apical radiograph shows that the root is not resorbed, then the tooth needs to be treated with root canal treatment. After root canal treatment, observe the tooth for two weeks, if there is no pain, then proceed to crown restoration.
If the tooth splits with pus, it is recommended to visit the hospital dentistry department in time and choose the best treatment plan under the doctor’s advice. Incision and drainage and other operations should be carried out by a doctor and should not be broken by yourself.
