What is a Dental Abscess?
A dental abscess is a severe infection characterized by a pocket of pus that can form in different parts of a tooth or gum. This painful condition requires immediate emergency dental treatment to prevent the infection from spreading and causing serious complications.
Warning Signs of a Dental Abscess
Recognising the symptoms of a dental abscess is crucial as this condition requires emergency dental care. If you experience any of these symptoms, seek immediate treatment to prevent serious complications.
Severe, Throbbing Pain
Intense, persistent pain that may radiate to your ear, jaw, and neck area. The pain might worsen when lying down.
Facial Swelling
Swelling in your face, cheek, or jaw area that may be warm to touch. This can indicate infection spread requiring urgent attention.
Fever and General Illness
High temperature, feeling generally unwell, and difficulty opening your mouth can indicate a spreading infection.
Tender, Swollen Gums
Red, swollen gums that are painful to touch and may have a visible bump or pimple-like structure.
Bad Taste and Smell
Foul taste in your mouth and bad breath due to draining pus from the abscess.
Sensitivity to Pressure
Extreme sensitivity when biting or chewing, often accompanied by looseness of the affected tooth.
