Recognizing Dental Infections

Symptoms of Dental Infections

Dental infections can present with various symptoms, including:

– Persistent toothache or throbbing pain
– Swelling of the gums, face, or jaw
– Sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures
– Fever or chills
– Swollen lymph nodes in the neck
– Pus drainage from the affected tooth or gum
– Foul taste or odor in the mouth

Types of Dental Infections

Dental infections can occur in different areas of the mouth, including the teeth (tooth abscess), gums (periodontal abscess), or surrounding tissues (cellulitis). These infections may result from untreated tooth decay, gum disease, dental trauma, or oral surgery complications.

When to Contact the Dentist

Persistent Tooth Pain or Discomfort

you have persistent tooth pain or discomfort that does not improve with over-the-counter pain medications, contact Centre Dentaire Laval to schedule an appointment. Our experienced team can evaluate your symptoms and recommend appropriate treatment to address the underlying cause of your dental pain.

Swelling or Pus Drainage

If you notice swelling, redness, or pus drainage around a tooth or gum area, contact us promptly for an evaluation. These symptoms may indicate a dental infection that requires professional treatment, such as root canal therapy or tooth extraction, to alleviate pain and prevent further complications.

Post-Treatment Complications

If you experience complications following a dental procedure, such as persistent pain, limited opening, swelling, or infection, contact Centre Dentaire Laval for assistance. Our team is here to address any concerns you may have and provide appropriate follow-up care to ensure your comfort and well-being.

When to Seek Emergency Medical Attention:

Severe Pain or Swelling

If you experience severe tooth pain unrelieved by antibiotics, facial swelling, associated with difficulty in breathing or swallowing, seek immediately emergency medical attention in a hospital setting. These symptoms may indicate a severe infection that requires prompt treatment to prevent complications especially if it is accompanied by systemic symptoms

Systemic Symptoms

Fever, chills, and general malaise (feeling unwell) may indicate that a dental infection has spread to other parts of the body, potentially leading to systemic complications such as sepsis. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience these symptoms along with signs of a dental infection.
