Dental cavitation treatment available at Greenville, SC area dental facility
What are dental cavitation symptoms?
Cavitations may be difficult to diagnose because they typically do not show any signs or symptoms. Guests are often unaware there is a problem until they experience pain from Neuralgia Inducing Cavitational Osteonecrosis or NICO. This is a lesion that results in the discharge of bacterial toxins that can cause health problems including extreme fatigue. Guests with this condition may experience:- A severe toothache
- Lesions on the jaw
- Referred pain to other areas of the body
- Other medical issues
What can cause dental cavitation?
An increased risk of dental cavitation can occur due to:- Bacteria from tooth extractions
- Incomplete removal of the periodontal ligament during tooth extractions
- Root canal infections
- Lowered or ineffective immune systems
- Lyme disease
- Low vitamin D levels
Cavitation dental treatments available
The best treatment option is often surgical debridement of the cavitation in the jawbone and then bone regeneration. Debridement requires the dentist remove abscesses, cysts, and unhealthy bone. Ozone and advanced platelet rich fibrin are used to promote healing with healthy bone.Learn more about dental cavitation and appropriate treatment
