Pain after periodontal treatment
After the treatment, the necks of teeth where the gums have already receded are exposed again, so they can react to cold or extreme heat. After the closed treatment, the gums will also report. By smoothing the root underneath the gums, they are always traumatized as well.
It is true that instruments are used below the gingiva, which are only sharp on one side, i.e. towards the tooth. However, complete protection of the gums is impossible. Post-operative pain is higher with open treatment. In addition to the receding gums and the particularly precise cleaning, there is pain in the area of the incisions and suture stitches. After the operation it is therefore recommended to take painkillers such as paracetamol or ibuprofen for several days.
When do I need antibiotics?
Some strains of bacteria are very persistent. If the gums continue to recede even though the treatment has already been completed and the teeth have been brushed thoroughly, only antibiotic therapy can help. Young people suffering from aggressive periodontitis must be treated with antibiotics from the very beginning.
In addition, antibiotics are recommended for generalized chronic periodontitis, an inflammation that has been going on for a long time and comes back again and again. For abscesses in the periodontium, antibiotics are also given prophylactically to prevent the spread of germs. In order to support the immune system, patients suffering from systematic diseases or heart failure are also generally given antibiotics.
Parodonthosis treatment with the help of homeopathy
In homeopathy books the following globules are recommended: over a period of 2 weeks, 5 globules of Mercurius should be taken in the morning, at noon and in the evening. There are 2 varieties, Mercurius solubilis or Mercurius corrosivus C15. Both remedies have about the same effect.
They relieve the pain and slow down the inflammation. If the periodontitis is not only caused by a bacterial strain, but also by aphthae in the mouth, it is best to use a tincture called Hydrastis canadensis. These remedies should be used when the first symptoms and pain occur. However, if the periodontitis is accompanied by bleeding gums, one should visit a dentist to remove the bacteria completely and to determine the cause of this inflammation. This is the only way to prevent a new disease.
