Facial swelling associated with a toothache can be a sign of a dental infection. While not every infection is serious, swelling should never be ignored because it can worsen quickly.
Call a dentist as soon as possible if you notice swelling in your gums, jaw, or face. If you’re having trouble breathing or swallowing, seek emergency medical care immediately.
Our first priority is identifying the source of the infection, relieving your pain, and recommending the treatment that’s best for your situation.
