I got gumboil from my wisdom tooth. I don’t want to go to the doctor, because he’ll definitely tell me to remove it?

Tell me if there is an abscess on the gum, but it is not painful and it is clear that it will rupture soon. I'm not taking any action yet. Do I need to go to the doctor? Is it possible to just apply something and then rinse out the pus?

Please tell me, my husband’s gumboil has popped up on several of his teeth many times over a long period of time (2 years). He doesn’t want to go to any doctor. Should he have all these teeth removed or is there a chance to save them?

Tell me, please, is there a connection between the exacerbation of chronic sinusitis in the autumn and the appearance of gumboil on the upper tooth at the same time? The fact that the upper “fours” are very weak and already filled and there is a pin in one - I think that sinusitis is also to blame. What about flux?

No. 1. Antibiotics for flux

You should not prescribe yourself a course of antibiotics. But if you decide to do this, then study the section with contraindications and subtleties of administration.

"Amoxicillin"

Flux is accompanied by inflammation and the development of pus (not always). How to remove a tumor - take Amoxicillin at home. It quickly suppresses the activity of pathogenic microorganisms, the swelling subsides after a few days. When positive dynamics are achieved, you need to urgently go to the doctor.

"Lincomycin"

The most powerful bactericidal effect is aimed at the focus of the inflammatory process. Thanks to this, it is possible to achieve results much faster than when taking Amoxicillin. When the swelling subsides, you should not stop therapy for a few more days.

"Tsifran"

Dental gumboil is determined by the degree of neglect. In difficult cases, treatment at home is carried out with antibiotics administered by injection. The medicinal composition is very strong, and accordingly, it is released only as prescribed by a doctor.

"Ampioks"

Combined antibiotic including ampicillin. The substances stop the further spread of swelling, relieve severe pain, and kill pathogenic bacteria. There are minimal contraindications, but they should be taken into account.

"Doxycycline"

Flux needs to be treated urgently. But before removing the tumor, it is advisable to obtain a doctor’s approval for the use of Doxycycline at home. When used skillfully, the drug will quickly kill pathogens and remove swelling.

Treatment with antibiotics

Antibiotics are prescribed to stop the infection from progressing. They are also mandatory after surgical treatment and tooth extraction. In severe cases, a home solution will not be effective. For periostitis, the following antibiotics are prescribed:

Lincomycin is widely used for infectious and bacterial diseases of the oral cavity. Do not take if you have liver or kidney diseases.

Amoxiclav - actively acts against pathogenic microorganisms that cause inflammation in the oral cavity. Can only be taken as prescribed by a doctor.

Antibiotics are prescribed by the doctor, taking into account the characteristics of the disease in each patient. It is forbidden to take them on your own, as they have a large number of contraindications.

No. 2. Anti-inflammatory drugs for flux

In addition to antibiotics, you need to use products aimed at relieving inflammation, pain, swelling and temperature.

"Nimesil"

The best product among its analogues, it comes in powder form and works almost immediately. It has a pleasant minty taste, lowers fever and shows impressive analgesic properties.

"Naklofen"

Helps both quickly get rid of flux and relieve pain in the inflamed area. It is rarely used at home because it is administered by injection. There are many prohibitions on use that need to be studied.

"Ibufen"

Created on the basis of ibuprofen, it is sold in various forms. It is quickly absorbed by the walls of the gastrointestinal tract and quickly distributed throughout the body by the blood. Literally 30 minutes after administration, the temperature drops, and the first signs of improvement are visible.

"Ketonal"

A non-steroidal drug used in the treatment of gumboil. How to remove swelling, lower temperature and reduce pain - take Ketonal at home according to the recommendations (no more than 300 mg daily). You'll get in shape quickly.

"Diazolin"

In the shortest possible time, it eliminates swelling that affects the gums and soft tissues of the face. Thanks to its antiallergic and bactericidal properties, harmful microorganisms die, as a result of which the inflamed area stops festering.

Causes and symptoms of flux

The reasons for the development of periostitis of the jaw are as follows:

basal cysts of teeth;
periodontitis;
the presence of abundant dental plaque;
lack of treatment for caries;
pulpitis;
periodontitis;
mechanical damage to teeth;
poor oral hygiene;
hypothermia of the body.

Flux is not an independent disease. It occurs as a result of lack of treatment or complications of other oral pathologies.

The process of formation of periostitis due to dental diseases can be considered in several stages:

Untreated caries. This pathology affects only the hard tissues of the tooth. If caries is not treated, pathogenic microbes penetrate into the pulp chamber. As a result, more severe diseases begin to develop.
Pulpitis. First, the tissue located in the crown of the tooth is affected. The inflammation then spreads to the root pulp.
Periodontitis. It is a precursor to flux. The pathological focus of periodontitis forms directly near the root tissues. If the flux is left untreated, microbes quickly penetrate the periosteum, causing purulent lesions.

The main objective sign of the formation of gumboil is the deformation of the jaw from the vestibule of the mouth in the area of the root apex. Other symptoms of periostitis are as follows:

swelling and redness of the periodontium;
radiating pain from the affected tooth to the back of the head, jaw or chin;
a sharp increase in pain response when chewing food;
deformation of the cheek at the site of inflammation;
development of intoxication of the body;
headache;
increased body temperature;
poor general health;
enlarged lymph nodes in the neck.

Attention! Sharp manifestations of flux are possible only in the acute stage. In the chronic course, there are practically no symptoms. The presence of periostitis for a long time leads to widespread damage to the jaw.

No. 3. Flux solutions for mouth rinsing

Since the flux needs to be removed as soon as possible, use proven solutions at home. Thanks to regular rinsing of the mouth, the swelling will quickly disappear from the cheek.

"Chlorhexidine"

Rinse to eliminate inflammatory processes. It is allowed to use the composition every 2 hours.

"Rotokan"

Dissolve in 0.2 l. slightly warmed water 20 ml. alcohol tincture. Carry out the procedure at equal intervals several times a day.

"Betadine"

Warm up 0.25 l a little. purified water, mix 20 ml. solution. Rinse your mouth at least 5 times throughout the day.

Hydrogen peroxide

Dilute boiled water with peroxide in equal proportions. Rinse your mouth regularly.

Interaction with a doctor will give quick and successful results

Almost all people sooner or later go to the doctor with gumboil. Some come in the early stages. And someone - because they tried home treatment, but could not cope or realized that the actions were inappropriate, and the infection began to seriously threaten their health.

The clinic carries out professional surgical and therapeutic measures to eliminate not only the purulent process, but also the causes of its appearance. Afterwards, the doctor usually gives recommendations and advises how and with what to treat gumboil at home in each specific case. A number of medications are prescribed: antibiotics, antiseptics, vitamins to boost immunity, ointments and applications.

If you have any symptoms, you should consult a specialist

Physiotherapy (electrophoresis, ultrasound and laser therapy) is also often added to the serious list of medications. At home, you need to carry out thorough but gentle oral hygiene and exclude irritating foods (hard, cold, spicy) from your diet.

It is very important for the patient to take all recommendations seriously. You need to visit a doctor to monitor the condition and until you are completely cured. After flux treatment, it is recommended to undergo medical examinations twice a year in order to promptly identify all dental diseases that can lead to the development of pathology.

In some cases, drainage is installed to ensure complete drainage of pus. All procedures are carried out under sterile conditions. After the operation, you will definitely be prescribed medications and antibiotics to avoid complications and ensure quick rehabilitation.” Dentist-therapist Elena Vladimirovna Orlova

Important!

If you're worried about gumboil, don't try to think about how to remove the swelling. Consult your doctor as soon as possible. Self-treatment at home can quickly worsen the situation.

Medicinal rinses

For faster gum healing during periostitis, dentists recommend using various antiseptics and anti-inflammatory solutions. This will help disinfect the oral cavity, relieve swelling and redness. Let's take a closer look at how you can rinse your mouth with gumboil.

Chlorhexidine for rinsing flux

One of the universal means used in medicine to combat pathogenic microflora. Not only the oral cavity can be treated with Chlorhexidine. The drug is also widely used in surgery and gynecology.

For inflammatory processes in the oral cavity, it is recommended to use a 0.5% solution of the substance for rinsing at least 4 times a day. The course of treatment is 7-10 days.

In order to rinse the flux with Chlorhexidine, the drug does not need to be diluted with water - it is already ready for use and is available in the concentration required for antiseptic purposes. The product must be poured into a measuring cup, approximately 15-20 ml, then taken into the mouth and made several intense rinsing movements.

At the end of the procedure, the solution must be spat out. There is no need to rinse your mouth, because Chlorhexidine creates an invisible protective film on the mucous membrane, which remains active for 15-20 minutes after rinsing.

Furacilin for mouthwash against gumboil

Another common remedy that can be used to rinse teeth with gumboil is Furacilin. It is especially often prescribed after opening a purulent focus or after removing the causative tooth.

To prepare the solution, you need to crush 2 tablets of the drug and dissolve it in a glass of warm water. The finished product can be stored for several days in the refrigerator, but before the procedure it is recommended to heat it to body temperature.

Rinsing should be done regularly, at least 3 times a day. You can stop the procedures when the condition improves and the damaged tissues heal.

Betadine for mouth rinse against gumboil

Betadine contains iodine, which provides various effects of the drug:

anti-inflammatory,
wound healing,
antimicrobial,
regenerative.

To rinse with flux, it is necessary to prepare a solution by first diluting the preparation with water. To do this, add a few drops of Betadine to 80 ml of water. You need to rinse your mouth 3-4 times a day, maintaining an equal interval between procedures.

Rinsing flux with Malavit

To eliminate flux, you can use Malavit, which contains extracts of herbs, silver and copper ions. Thanks to the active components, the drug provides an antibacterial effect, allows you to quickly and effectively eliminate swelling of soft tissues and reduce pain.

To prepare a solution for rinsing the mouth, you need to dissolve 10 drops of Malavit in 250 ml of boiled water. In the acute phase of the disease, it is recommended to treat the gums up to 7 times a day, and after the inflammatory phenomena have subsided, the frequency of procedures can be reduced to 3 per day. Treatment is carried out until complete recovery.

Rotokan for rinsing mouth from gumboil

An alcohol tincture containing extracts from medicinal herbs is one of the popular means that can be used to rinse gumboil on the gums. The drug contains extracts of sage, marigold, yarrow, and chamomile. Before use, the tincture must be diluted with water in a ratio of 1:10. Rinsing is carried out 3 times a day.

Miramistin for mouth rinse against gumboil

In case of odontogenic periostitis, Miramistin can also be used to reduce microbial contamination and relieve inflammation. The drug is available in finished form; it does not need to be diluted before use.

Consumer Opinion

Reviews from ordinary people who have tried rinsing with Rotokan solution in practice.

I used to use this remedy for a sore throat, but recently I learned about another use for it: the dentist recommended it when I was grinding down a tooth before installing a crown.

There were unpleasant, even painful sensations in the gums, so to calm them down, I rinsed my mouth with Rotokan. The drug helped a lot, it became much easier!

Marina, 36 years old

A couple of days ago I had a very unfortunate trip to a cafe - I severely injured my gum on a fish bone. A friend recommended Rotokan, recommended it as a cheap and, importantly, very effective remedy, bought it immediately, and began using it, as written in the instructions for use, as a lotion.

The next day, the gums were almost not swollen and did not even hurt, rather they just ached. Well, a day later there was no trace left of all the pain and swelling. I can confidently recommend this drug.

Antibiotics for flux

Antibacterial therapy is mandatory, since it is impossible to cure flux on the gums without them using traditional methods alone. Therapy involves the use of agents that affect gram-positive and anaerobic bacteria. The course of antibiotic treatment for flux is 10 days. Most often, dentists prescribe Metronidazole with Lincomycin or Clindamycin. In dentistry, preference is given to the latter drug.

General-spectrum drugs are also used for treatment:

Sumamed;
Amoxiclav;
Unidox Solutab;
Flemoxin;
Digital

In case of diabetes mellitus and lack of therapeutic effect due to changes in the sensitivity of microflora, drugs based on Norfloxacin or Ofloxacin are indicated. It is difficult to cure gumboil in such conditions. The main representatives of the funds are:

Syphlox;
Tarivid;
Nomitsin.

Is it necessary to visit the dentist?

Why treat flux if over time the lesion will open on its own, and antibacterial therapy will help eliminate purulent formations? This is often the opinion of uninformed patients. In fact, failure to treat flux at the dentist leads to dire consequences:

Abscess. It is a limited purulent inflammation. Occurs with prolonged flux and lack of treatment.
Phlegmon. It is a diffuse inflammation of soft tissues with the formation of pus. Swelling and pain increase. Cellulitis forms after the rupture of a purulent sac during periostitis.
Osteomyelitis of the jaw. This is a purulent-necrotic lesion of bone tissue. With a long course of flux, the pathological focus spreads to all neighboring areas. Osteomyelitis is often complicated by sepsis, leading to death.
Inflammation of the maxillary sinuses. Pus spreads quickly through the airways. The maxillary sinuses are affected when the flux is localized on the upper jaw, from the canine to the first molar.

Therapeutic effects of components

The medicinal properties of the medicine due to its composition:

Calendula contains carotenoids and flavonoids, which determines its pharmacological activity. It has an anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial effect, is active against some viruses, promotes tissue regeneration, and relieves spasm of smooth muscles (mainly in the stomach and intestines).
Yarrow , along with flavonoids, also consists of achillein alkanoids, azulenes and tannins. This explains its hemostatic effect (it does not lead to the formation of blood clots), antiallergic and wound healing effects.
Chamomile flower baskets contain 0.2-0.8% essential oil, one of the components of which is chamazulene. Thanks to him, it serves as an antiseptic and helps fight inflammatory processes.

Rotokan solution can be used as:

antiseptic;
a remedy that fights inflammatory processes;
hemostatic drug;
a remedy that has the ability to heal wounds.
