Flux (periostitis) – a disease associated with the spread of pus in the connective tissues. The main causes are caries or pulpitis, often occurs also after tooth extraction. Extraction of the tooth element – dental surgery, which can be accompanied by unpleasant consequences.

Swelling after tooth extraction is a normal reaction to soft tissue trauma. Swelling subsides on the 2nd or 3rd day after the procedure. If on the third day it does not pass, but increases, accompanied by a slight rise in temperature, severe pain and deterioration of well-being – it is flux, which was a complication after extraction.
