In these cases, where there is a discharge through the fang of the tooth, such treatment should be adopted, as will most speedily and effectually suppress it; and if it proceeds from a remaining portion of the nerve near the point of the fang, this should be removed, and such application made as will prevent a recurrence of the discharge, and assist the part to recover its health.

From their action, the secreting surface is destroyed, healthy granulations spring up, and a normal condition is established. The discharge should be wholly suppressed before the tooth is filled; otherwise, alveolar abscess would be speedily formed. In cases where there is periostitis, it must be subdued before the tooth will tolerate the operation of filling. To attain this end, the treatment to be adopted will be dictated by the nature of the causes which operate to induce the disease.
