Symptoms of infection after wisdom tooth extraction

summary

In the extraction of wisdom teeth, if the operation is improper or the timing is not right, it may lead to infection. Once infection occurs, it will do great harm to patients. Inflammation may enter other tissues and organs through blood circulation, which will not only lead to gingival bleeding, swelling and pain, but also brain lesions and edema, The harm is very great. Symptoms of infection after wisdom tooth extraction? Let's talk about it

Symptoms of infection after wisdom tooth extraction

Gingival bleeding: it is often the main self-conscious symptom of patients with gingivitis, mostly occurs when brushing teeth or biting hard objects, and occasionally spontaneous bleeding. Gingival color: normal gingiva is pink, free gingiva and gingival papilla become dark red or dark red when suffering from gingivitis, which is caused by blood vessel congestion and hyperplasia in gingival connective tissue.

Gingival shape: normal gingiva should be thin and close to the tooth surface. When suffering from gingivitis, due to tissue edema, the gingival margin becomes thicker and no longer close to the tooth surface, and the gingival papilla becomes blunt and hypertrophy and no longer close to the tooth surface. In the patients with inflammation and exudation as the main lesions, the gingiva is soft and hypertrophic, the surface is bright, and the gingival margin is sometimes erosive and exudative; In cases with fibrous proliferation, the gingiva is tough and hypertrophic, sometimes nodular and covers part of the tooth surface.

Gingival texture: due to the inflammatory infiltration in connective tissue and the disappearance of collagen fibers, the original dense gingival becomes soft and fragile, lacking elasticity. Some chronic inflammation, gingival surface epithelial hyperplasia thickening, collagen fiber hyperplasia, so that the gingival surface appears hard hypertrophy, but there is inflammation in the inner wall of periodontal pocket, probing bleeding.

matters needing attention

Pay attention to stop bleeding. After the wisdom tooth is removed, there will be bleeding. At this time, we must stop bleeding in time. The doctor will place gauze or cotton ball on the wound. People should bite it to stop bleeding better. Never use the tongue to lick it, so as not to touch the cotton ball and cause subsequent bleeding of the wound. Don't touch the clot. After a period of time after wisdom tooth extraction, the wound will stop bleeding, and there will be a thin layer of blood clots on the surface of the wound. People must not easily touch the blood clots, so as not to cause the blood clots to rupture and make the wound bleed again.
