What is Dental Infection?

Treatment support for dental infections, including pain management and antibiotic therapy when appropriate.

Common symptoms

Toothache

Persistent or throbbing pain in or around a tooth

Facial swelling

Swelling of the gums, cheek, or face near the affected tooth

Fever

Elevated body temperature indicating the body is fighting infection

Bad taste or odor

Foul taste or smell coming from the infected tooth or surrounding area

Gum redness

Red, swollen, or tender gum tissue around the affected tooth

Dental infections typically develop when bacteria invade the dental pulp — the innermost part of the tooth — following untreated decay, a cracked tooth, or gum disease. Pain may be constant or triggered by pressure, heat, or cold.
The infection can spread rapidly to surrounding tissue, the jaw, neck, or even the airway if left untreated. Antibiotic therapy combined with dental intervention is usually required.
After antibiotics are started and definitive dental treatment is performed, swelling and pain typically subside within a few days. Follow-up with a dentist is essential to address the underlying cause.

You Should Know

Dental infections can spread and become serious. If swelling extends to the neck or throat, go to the ER immediately.
