How long does it take for facial swelling to go away due to pulpitis?

       The symptoms of facial swelling caused by pulpitis usually subside gradually in about a week after timely treatment. 

Pulpitis is a disease of the hard tissue of the teeth, the most common cause of which is severe dental caries.

The onset of dental caries usually requires a process, and if this process is not noticed and treated in time, it will lead to infection of the tooth pulp cavity, leading to pulpitis. If the disease progresses to the stage of pulpitis, it will cause spontaneous severe pain in the teeth, and the pain tends to get worse at night. In this case, you need to go to the dental department of the hospital or a more standardized dental clinic for pulp treatment in time. After the treatment, the pain and swelling will be significantly relieved in a short time.

When pulpitis attacks acutely and causes facial swelling, you can choose to take oral amoxicillin dispersible tablets and artificial bezoar metronidazole tablets. It is recommended to take these two drugs at the same time. If the pulpitis is severe and an abscess forms, a period of sealing will be needed to completely subside the infection. If pulpitis is in the quiescent stage, you need to maintain good oral hygiene and insist on brushing your teeth in the morning and evening and rinsing your mouth after meals.

During the period of pulpitis, due to the symptoms of tooth pain and mouth opening pain, it is recommended to eat some light and warm liquid food or soft food such as milk, soy milk, chicken cake, tofu, protein powder, gruel, noodles, steamed buns, Hanamaki, Vegetable soup, etc. You also need to pay attention to supplementing your diet with more vitamins and protein.
