Natural Health Care

Granuloma formation can be considered a defense mechanism of the body, thus reacting to the presence of harmful germs from the pulp, dentin and periodontium. The most common causes for this are threefold:

- Caries. Some bacteria that are part of the bacterial flora of the mouth feed on sugar that remains as residue in our food and turn it into acids that eat away at tooth enamel. When it becomes too weak, other microorganisms destroy the crown and reach the center (dentin and buff) of the affected part. If no care from a dentist, the infection can progress to the bottom of the root.

- Periodontal disease. Overcrowding occurs when bacteria in the mouth causes the gums to recede and leave bare root. At first, this is manifested by hypersensitivity (take food hot, cold, or even draw air through the mouth is painful), and later with gingivitis (bleeding gums). When the problem continues to evolve, the germs get in the periodontium, which can cause tooth loss and abscesses.- Accidents and shock. Strong impacts on the parts arrive to generate their break, so that, as in the case of caries, are openings that allow passage of bacteria into the center and root of the tooth.

Although sometimes the dental granuloma caused no discomfort, are much more frequent occurrence that is accompanied by various symptoms:

- Severe pain and throbbing almost always in a tooth.
- Discomfort when chewing or putting pressure on the affected part.
- Tooth sensitivity to heat or cold.
- Bitter taste in the mouth.
- Bad breath (halitosis).
- Sometimes inflammation can be observed in bulk form at the base of the affected tooth.
- It also gets to demonstrate elevated temperature and swollen glands in the neck.
- Malaise.

The presence of these events requires attention from a dentist, who will establish the diagnosis by performing a medical history, physical monitoring of the mouth and taking X-rays mainly focused on the root of the tooth.
