Flux (periostitis) is an inflammatory process in the area of the gums and bone tissue that occurs as a result of an infection penetrating from an affected tooth to the periosteum. The primary cause of flux development is untreated caries or inflammation of the root canal. The infection gradually spreads deep into the tissues, causing the formation of pus. Externally, flux manifests as swelling of the cheek or gums, pain upon pressure, difficulty opening the mouth, and an elevated temperature. If not treated in a timely manner, pus may break through, causing the inflammation to spread to adjacent tissues and sometimes to the entire body.
At an early stage, the dentist can eliminate the cause of inflammation by cleaning the root canals, removing the infection, and prescribing anti-inflammatory therapy. If treatment is delayed, pus accumulates, pain intensifies, and surgical intervention may become necessary. Untimely treatment of flux is dangerous, as the infection can spread to other teeth, the jaw, or even cause generalized blood poisoning (sepsis). Timely consultation with a dentist in Lviv allows for the rapid elimination of inflammation, pain relief, and preservation of the tooth without complex and painful procedures.
