The symptoms of a tooth infection.
A tooth infection caused by factors such as tooth decay and gum disease appears with many signs and symptoms either generalized or localized. The most common being; toothache, swelling with or without pus, soreness, redness, bad breath, and difficulty in eating.
If the infection gets worse, it can spread to the throat, nose, cheek (sinuses), or even the brain in certain rare cases! Spreading of an infection could be detected by a dentist when;
- Swelling and redness covers a large area (generalized).
- Extreme difficulty in swallowing or even breathing.
- Pus oozing out or inside the mouth.
- Severe pain accompanied by fever.
- Severe pain on opening the mouth widely or touching the affected area.
What to do when you have a tooth infection;
When you get a tooth infection, the first thing you ask yourself is “which is the best dental clinic near me?” or “best dentist near me” then book a dental appointment and rush to get your dental care before the infection spreads, because treating them at home is not an option!
Hence, emergency dentists are always available at Durrani’s Dental Clinic (one of the top and affordable dentist – Dr. Shoaib Durrani).
