Diseases of the gums and oral cavity are a fairly common problem in the life of every person. Of course, the best option is to contact a specialist in the field of dentistry. One of the most common lesions is a growth on the gum, which is the formation of an abscess of a certain size. A growth or cyst involves the formation of a pathological cavity, inside which contains a liquid or gruel-like mass.
As a rule, this occurs when an infection enters the gum tissue (for example, trauma, an infectious disease). In the absence of treatment, the growth on the gum increases in size, and the infected blood spreads throughout the human body. As a result, other negative consequences arise.
The process of growth begins with inflammation of the tissue located between the root base of the tooth and the bone itself. The danger lies in the fact that at any moment it can spontaneously open up, resulting in a fistulous passage.
The fistulous course is a kind of protective reaction of the body when it penetrates the infection, since inflammatory fluid or pus, harmful microbial products, etc. go out through it. It is possible to determine the presence of a fistula with a thorough examination of the damaged area. As a rule, it is expressed as a swelling with a small wound in the center of the tubercle through which purulent fluid can ooze.
Symptoms of the appearance of a cyst on the gums are considered to be an increase in body temperature, swelling of the lymph nodes in the neck and behind the ears, general weakness of the body, systematic or persistent headaches, the appearance of swelling and pain. This is only part of the unpleasant consequences that a cyst on the gum leads to. Treatment should be started only after an accurate diagnosis by x-ray of the jaw.
Of course, the growth on the gum needs to be treated at an early stage, since in this case the disease is easier to eliminate. The simplest method of disposal is the elimination of a damaged tooth, after which it is necessary to completely clean the gum from the contents.
But at the moment, modern technologies and techniques can remove
growth on the gum without surgical intervention of a specialist. This is a therapeutic method that does not injure the patient's psyche so much and does not lead to tooth loss. But, most often, this method requires an entire course of treatment, therefore, longer in time.
The task of an experienced dentist is to clean and thoroughly rinse the root canal with special tools and solutions. After elimination of harmful microbes and bacteria, it is necessary to fill the cystic cavity with dental paste, due to which the damaged bone tissue is restored.
There are also folk remedies to combat the formed growth on the gum. For example, one and popular treatment methods are homemade ointment made from calendula flowers, yarrow, dandelion root, sorrel, clover grass, tansy. Grind the resulting collection thoroughly (using a meat grinder), add one part of ichthyol or Vishnevsky ointment and a few drops of calendula oil. The resulting composition is applied to the damaged part.
Of course, the easiest way to prevent the formation of a cyst than to treat it. Therefore, it is advisable to regularly visit the dental office, take care of the gums and oral cavity daily, and lead a healthy lifestyle (physical activity, balanced nutrition, lack of bad habits, etc.).
