Understanding Acute Dental Abscess

An acute dental abscess is a pocket of pus caused by a bacterial infection. This is a medical emergency because the infection can spread to the jaw, neck, or even the bloodstream (sepsis). Symptoms include severe, throbbing pain, facial swelling, and fever. Treatment usually involves draining the abscess, performing a root canal, or extracting the tooth to remove the source of infection.

Recognizing the Symptoms of Acute Dental Abscess

  • Severe, persistent, throbbing toothache
  • Sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures
  • Fever
  • Swelling in your face or cheek
  • Tender, swollen lymph nodes
