Abscesses on gums after root canal treatment

The formation of abscesses on the gums after root canal treatment may be caused by imperfections in the root canal treatment, which results in the inflammation of the root canal or the needle tip not being completely removed, causing the abscesses on the gums.

After root canal treatment, gum abscesses usually require another root canal treatment, in which the filled root canal is removed, the root canal is prepared again, and the symptoms are restored by filling the root canal again after the inflammation is eliminated. If the raw material cannot be completely removed, surgery will be required to severely cut off the root apex. Before treatment and surgery, you should first go to the hospital to check the specific condition of the gums through X-ray scan, and then do treatment. This can reduce damage to the gums, and the effect after treatment will be more satisfactory.

After root canal treatment, the tooth will become more fragile and you can choose to install a crown to protect the tooth. After root canal treatment, you need to pay special attention to your diet. Try not to eat hard foods and be careful not to eat alternating hot and cold foods, otherwise it will cause damage to your teeth and cause tooth cracking. In daily life, we must also maintain good oral hygiene and cleaning. We must develop the habit of brushing our teeth in the morning and evening and rinsing our mouths after meals to maintain oral hygiene.
