A tooth infection (abscess) won’t go away on its own and delaying care can lead to serious complications.
Watch for these warning signs:
• Persistent, throbbing tooth pain
• Swelling in the gums, face, or jaw
• Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
• A bad taste in your mouth
• Fever or feeling unwell
• Pain when chewing
Infections can spread beyond the tooth if left untreated.
