Dental phlegmon<\/strong> is an oral pathology<\/strong> that can infect the tissues<\/strong> surrounding the teeth (gums<\/strong>) if it is not treated in time. Depending on the causes that have provoked this dental phlegmon, one treatment or another will be recommended.<\/p>\n
The causes<\/strong> for the appearance of dental phlegmon can be:<\/p>\n
\n
An untreated dental caries<\/strong> that can infect the pulp of the gums, creating a deposit of pus or phlegmon<\/strong> in the internal tissues of the tooth.<\/li>\n
If the person has periodontal disease (pyorrhoea)<\/strong> the gums will be swollen, red and bleeding. If this problem is left untreated, the gums will eventually develop a dental abscess, which can ultimately lead to tooth loss.<\/li>\n
The final cause of tooth abscess<\/strong> can be trauma to the teeth<\/strong>, which can break the tooth or even damage the nerve. That injury will be reflected with inflammation, tooth sensitivity, a lot of pain and damage to the enamel.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
