Medication for the treatment of childhood abscesses and infections

Only if microbes are able to enter the teeth, the enamel is damaged by decay or broken by teeth. In this situation, the germs penetrate into the dentin and cause tooth pain after replenishing and creating infectious agents. Now, if this tooth decay or fracture is not treated, the infection progresses and leaves the root of the and root and enters the surrounding tissues of the teeth and causes tooth abscess, and severe dental pain develops.

Therefore, parents should have regular dental examination to prevent such infections so that in the case of small dental caries, they are treated quickly to prevent these caries and do not cause advanced infections.

Parents are told that these puffs are the same baby’s abscesses that have become cystic pussies. These cysts and chronic dental abscesses are treated if they are removed and the source of the infection is eliminated. If the roots of the teeth are not lost, it can be removed by treating the root (neuralgia) of the tooth and, as a result, the child’s abscess from the gum fades and disappears.
