Learn about the side effects of an inflamed tooth and the causes of tooth inflammation.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h2-1\">Causes of an inflamed tooth - the background to your dental problem<\/h2>\n<p>There can be several causes of a tooth infection, and one of the most common is poor oral hygiene.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/naturadent.hu\/blog\/fogszuvasodas-kezelese-fogtomes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tooth decay<\/a>\u00a0As a result, tooth enamel thins or can disappear completely, meaning that various bacteria and food debris can easily enter the tooth, multiply there, and cause severe tooth inflammation.<\/p>\n<p>This can be very painful, often accompanied by pain and an abscess full of pus, which contains bacteria that the body has isolated.<\/p>\n<p>The side effects and symptoms of an inflamed tooth can also be caused by overuse, which is the overuse of a particular tooth. So,\u00a0<strong>If we chew too much on one side, the tooth can become overloaded, during which it can become inflamed.<\/strong>. This results in swelling, redness, and sharp pain in the affected area.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to tooth inflammation, chronic pulpitis, root remnants, cysts, foreign bodies,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/naturadent.hu\/blog\/fogagybetegseg-es-a-foginygyulladas-kezelese\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gingivitis<\/a>\u00a0(periodontitis), chronic inflammation of the jawbone, root canal treatment, and certain gum or tooth injuries.<\/p>\n<p>The dentist will be able to determine the cause of the inflamed tooth and then explain how to treat it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h2-2\">Side effects and symptoms of an inflamed tooth - if left untreated<\/h2>\n<p>It happens that after recovering from a particular illness, we soon find that we have the same complaints again, and this is the umpteenth time.<\/p>\n<p>In such cases, doctors recommend finding the cause of the disease, so-called focus investigation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The angle is what chronically triggers the given disease, thereby causing inflammation in the body.<\/strong>\u00a0There can be many such focal points in the body; mentioning a few, focal points that can trigger secondary illnesses most commonly occur in the following locations: the frontal sinus, the maxillary sinus, the teeth, the face, the tonsils, the appendix, the prostate, and the ovaries.<\/p>\n<p>Foci of tooth origin include very common inflammation around dead tooth, root canal (where there is inadequate root filling) or root apex, possibly gingivitis, periodontitis, wisdom tooth inflammation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Inflamed teeth should be treated as soon as possible, as they can develop a number of complications, side effects and absences that can be very painful.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It's also important to know that an inflamed (dead, bacteria-filled) tooth is not always painful. An inflamed tooth can usually hurt not only when pressed or when eating or feeling hot\/cold, but can also cause constant stabbing, sharp or throbbing pain.<\/p>\n<p>In such cases, painkillers will no longer be effective, making it difficult to sleep and carry out daily tasks. If left untreated, the side effects of an inflamed tooth can spread to the surrounding area, causing swelling and the formation of a pus-filled sac, an abscess.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, bad breath and an unpleasant taste in the mouth may occur. The inflammation of the tooth may spread to the face, jaw, or other areas of the neck and head. Due to this, the entire face or the affected area may swell.<\/p>\n<p>If we don't treat our inflamed teeth in time, in extreme cases the swelling can block the airways and become life-threatening.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h2-3\">Side effects of an inflamed tooth, in the case of dental treatment<\/h2>\n<p>When treating an inflamed tooth, the first thing to do is to reduce the inflammation.<\/p>\n<p>First, we clean the area, destroy the bacteria with a laser, and we may prescribe medication to further reduce inflammation.<\/p>\n<p>If swelling and inflammation have subsided,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/naturadent.hu\/szolgaltatasok\/lezeres-mikroszkopos-gyokerkezeles\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">We are root-treating the tooth.<\/a>, which we also perform with a laser, and during which we treat the root of the tooth to protect it from further infections.<\/p>\n<p>At our dentistry, we always try to save the tooth, but in some cases, unfortunately, tooth extraction is the most effective method. We only do this if the inflammation is so bad that root canal treatment cannot help.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h2-4\">The side effects of an infected tooth \u2013 How to avoid them<\/h2>\n<p>How can gum inflammation be most easily avoided? By regularly visiting our dentist. The annual general\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/naturadent.hu\/szolgaltatasok\/allapotfelmeres-es-konzultacio\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dental examination<\/a>\u00a0and a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/naturadent.hu\/blog\/professzionalis-dentalhigienes-kezeles\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Professional dental hygiene treatment<\/a>\u00a0Extremely important.<\/p>\n<p>These can help us maintain good oral hygiene and healthy teeth. And maintaining a healthy tooth is much more cost-effective than treating a major dental problem.  In addition, of course, it is also important to take good care of your mouth and teeth every day at home.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A fogf\u00e1j\u00e1s megkeser\u00edtheti a mindennapokat \u00e9s nemcsak sz\u00e1mos oka lehet, de sok sz\u00f6v\u0151dm\u00e9nye is.
