Dental abscess: when should you seek emergency medical attention?
A dental abscess is a bacterial infection caused by a buildup of pus in a tooth (or gum). It usually occurs following an untreated cavity, but can also develop following different situations: dental trauma (shock), pulpitis (inflammation of the dental pulp), infection in a wisdom tooth, etc.
A dental abscess causes different types of symptoms such as sharp pain at the abscess, inflammation, swelling in the neck, etc. In the absence of appropriate treatment, a dental abscess can even cause the infection to spread to other organs and therefore a deterioration in your general state of health: fever, fatigue, malaise, insomnia, etc.
Please note that a dental abscess cannot resolve itself and requires the intervention of a dentist.
In case of a dental abscess, do not wait to consult an emergency dentist. The sooner your abscess is treated, the less likely you are to develop complications.
