A dental abscess (periostitis) is an inflammatory process in the gums and bone tissue caused by an infection spreading from an affected tooth to the periosteum. The main causes of a dental abscess are untreated cavities or root canal infections. The infection gradually penetrates deeper into the tissues, leading to pus formation. Externally, it appears as swelling of the cheek or gums, pain when touched, difficulty opening the mouth, and fever. Without timely treatment, the abscess may rupture, causing the infection to spread to nearby tissues or even throughout the body.
A dental abscess is not just swelling—it’s a serious infection requiring immediate treatment. In the early stage, the dentist can remove the source of infection by cleaning the root canals, disinfecting the area, and prescribing anti-inflammatory therapy. Delaying treatment allows pus to accumulate, pain to intensify, and may result in the need for surgical intervention. Untreated abscesses can spread infection to other teeth, the jaw, or even cause sepsis.
Prompt dental care in Lviv helps quickly eliminate inflammation, relieve pain, and save the tooth without complicated or painful procedures.
At the early stage, a dental abscess may cause mild pain in the area of the affected tooth or gums, which worsens when chewing or pressing. Over time, the pain becomes pulsating, with visible cheek swelling, enlarged lymph nodes, fever, and general weakness. In some cases, difficulty opening the mouth or swallowing may occur, and a pus pocket forms on the gums. These symptoms indicate active inflammation, which without timely intervention can develop into an abscess or phlegmon, posing a serious health risk.
At RelaxDent clinic in Lviv, we recommend not waiting until the swelling or pain becomes severe. Early dental treatment quickly stops inflammation, removes its cause, and prevents surgical intervention.
A dental abscess develops as a complication of oral infections when bacteria spread from an affected tooth to the periosteum.
