Periostitis is an acute or chronic inflammation of the periosteum, the tissue surrounding the tooth and jawbone. It most often develops as a complication of untreated cavities, pulpitis, or periodontitis, when the infection spreads beyond the tooth root. This leads to an inflammatory process accompanied by pain, gum swelling, and even swelling of the cheek. In severe cases, a pus-filled abscess (fistula) may form, requiring urgent dental intervention.
In the early stages, patients may feel a dull ache in the affected tooth, increased sensitivity while chewing, or a sensation that the tooth has “grown.” When the inflammation becomes acute, throbbing pain, fever, facial swelling, and enlarged lymph nodes may occur.
Periostitis is a serious inflammation that, if untreated, can spread to other teeth, soft tissues, or even the bone. The earlier the therapy begins, the easier it is to stop the process and save the tooth. At RELAXDENT in Lviv, we use modern diagnostic and treatment methods that quickly relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and restore oral health without complications.
Periostitis develops when an infection from the tooth root spreads into the surrounding jaw tissues. Initially, symptoms may be subtle—dull pain, slight gum swelling, or pressure near the affected tooth. Over time, the pain intensifies, cheek swelling appears, facial asymmetry develops, temperature rises, and lymph nodes may enlarge. In some cases, a pus-filled abscess forms, causing throbbing pain and general malaise.
At RelaxDent in Lviv, we emphasize: even mild pain or swelling is a reason to see a dentist. Timely diagnosis helps stop the inflammation before it leads to serious complications or tooth loss.
Inflammation of the periosteum usually develops as a complication of other dental problems. The most common causes are:
Preventive check-ups at RelaxDent twice a year help avoid periostitis, detect inflammation early, and maintain the health of teeth and gums.
X-rays or CT scans determine the infection’s depth and presence of pus or complications, allowing the dentist to accurately diagnose and choose a safe treatment

The dentist opens the inflamed area, removes infected tissues, and cleans the site. The area is then treated with antiseptics to prevent the infection from spreading.
A drainage is placed to allow pus to drain, and anti-inflammatory therapy is prescribed. If necessary, further treatment or restoration of the affected tooth is performed
