Infections that cause swelling of the face or fever

Infections that cause swelling of the face or fever must be addressed quickly by a dentist and may not wait until business hours begin.

In case of an impacted tooth, dental abscess or trauma, then the inflammation is your body’s response to the injury or infection. As a result, you may experience pain, swelling, redness, warmth, or loss of function of the affected area or tooth. If you are suffering from any of these types of infections, you need to be treated and should respond to antibiotic therapy.

In the event that the pain is unbearable and occurs in the middle of the night, contact our after-hours service for advice.

If you have any form of swelling, contact us straight away.
