What Is a Tooth Infection?
A tooth infection, also known as a dental abscess, occurs when bacteria invade the inner layers of the tooth or surrounding gum tissue. This can lead to swelling, severe pain, and even fever. If not treated quickly, the infection can spread to other parts of the body and cause more serious complications.
Common Signs of a Tooth Infection:
- Persistent toothache or throbbing pain
- Swelling in the face, cheek, or gums
- Sensitivity to hot or cold
- Fever or swollen lymph nodes
- Bad taste in the mouth or foul-smelling breath
- Pus discharge near the infected area
When to Seek Emergency Dental Care
If you're experiencing any of the above symptoms, don’t wait. A tooth infection is considered a dental emergency and should be treated as soon as possible. Early intervention can help prevent tooth loss and further health risks.
