Oral Manifestations Of Dengue Fever

Dengue also is known as break-bone fever (since it is literally bone-breaking because of severe joint pain) has been spreading its wings in most of the tropical regions these days including India. It has become one of the most common mosquito-borne viral diseases and hence its prevention has become really important.
Its mainly caused by a family of viruses named Flaviviridae and transmitted by Aedes Egypt mosquito.
People are usually of the mindset that oral findings have almost negligible or no role in systemic diseases which ain’t true. Both systemic and oral diseases are co-dependent and signs and symptoms of one might be reflected in the other, hence careful observation and diagnosis are very important in all the cases. The same is the case with dengue fever since dengue leads to lowering down of platelet levels it may lead to sudden bleeding from gums and purpuric(hemorrhagic) spots. It’s important to take careful notice of all such symptoms and act swiftly in order to prevent it from further aggravation.

However, there is still great controversy over when to keep a natural tooth and when to extract it for a dental implant. So, what should you do? Keep reading to learn more about these procedures. ROOT CANAL TREATMENT A root canal is the treatment of choice for teeth whose roots have been damaged, whether by trauma or decay. The dentist will numb your tooth before creating an opening through the crown of your tooth to access the pulp chamber. Then, he or she will clean out the infection and remove any unhealthy pulp to prep the tooth for the filler. A material known as gutta-percha, are placed into the canals to prevent future infection or contamination.
