Frequently Asked Questions About Swelling in Face or Jaw
Is facial swelling a dental emergency?
Yes! Facial or jaw swelling can indicate a serious dental infection (abscess) that needs immediate treatment. If swelling is spreading, you have difficulty breathing or swallowing, or you have a fever, seek care immediately.
What causes swelling in the face or jaw?
Common dental causes include abscessed teeth, impacted wisdom teeth, gum infections, and injuries. Non-dental causes like sinus infections can also cause facial swelling. We'll diagnose the cause and get you relief fast.
Can a dental infection be dangerous?
Yes. Untreated dental infections can spread to the jaw, head, neck, or even the bloodstream. This is why we take facial swelling very seriously and offer same-day emergency appointments to address it quickly.
What can I do for facial swelling before my appointment?
Apply a cold compress to the outside of your face (20 minutes on, 20 off). Take ibuprofen for pain and swelling. Keep your head elevated. Don't apply heat or try to drain any swelling yourself.
Will I need antibiotics for a dental infection?
Often yes, but antibiotics alone won't solve the problem. The source of infection (like an abscessed tooth) needs to be treated too. We'll provide a complete treatment plan including any needed medications.
