How do I know if I have a dental infection?

If you are unfortunate enough to suffer from a dental infection then this may present in one or more of the following ways: -

  • Pain
  • Presence of pus
  • Bad taste
  • Difficulty eating
  • Loose teeth
  • Fever
  • Feeling of lethargy, tiredness

What types of dental infection are there?

Broadly speaking a dental infection can either be those that effect:

  • Your teeth,
  • Your gums or
  • The surrounding tissues around the mouth and face.

An infection can either be acute or chronic.

Acute infection

This type of infection is characterised by a sudden onset of pain and swelling. If you have an acute dental infection then you will most certainly know about it and will likely need to seek immediate help.

Chronic infection

This type of infection is characterised by a more slower onset and often with no pain at all.  If you have a chronic infection then you may not even know you have it - hence the importance of regular dental check ups to spot these issues early and treat them before they get worse.

Is there another name of a dental infection?

You may have commonly heard of the word "Dental Abscess" - this is essentially another name given to a type of dental infection.

I think I have an acute infection? What should I do?

If you suspect that you may have a dental infection then please seek your dentist as a matter of urgency such that your issue can be looked into and sorted out before it worsens.

Are there any times that I should be worried?

If you suspect you have a dental infection and are either struggling to breathe or swallow then please either call 999 or visit A&E immediately.

How are dental infections treated?

They are treated by accessing and removing the source of infection. Where there is a delay in accessing the source of infection or if the infection is quite severe then you may also be given antibiotics to help.

Dental Infections– Typical Treatments

There are numerous options when it comes to treating dental pain. The treatments that would suit you best are suggested based entirely on your needs, requirements and are bespoke to you alone. We would recommend booking in for a consultation with one of our experts who will discuss your specific requirements with you.
