The main signs of an infection would include, but are not limited to, swelling, pain in the area of the jaw. A dental infection often will be accompanied with a swelling that oozes a white substance. Feeling feverish can happen too. But there are many signs of an infection- even the absence of pain.
Pain, swelling, cold/heat sensitivity, halitosis (bad breath) can all be some of the symptoms of a dental infections. It can easily be spread out mainly through bone and dental cavities.
It could be pain developed in the tooth adjacent to the infected tooth, but this has to be verified by your dentist by taking a dental X-ray. Most of the time, it cannot be seen visually (caries develops between teeth).
Swelling, pain, pus, redness, tooth mobility, among other things.
Pain and increasing size of swollen area
Tooth infections do not spread from tooth to tooth. They are infected individually through decay that reaches the pulp of the tooth. An infected tooth cannot make another tooth get infected.
The other teeth become sore or painful.
Symptoms have a wide range they can range from slight tooth pain to large swelling.
It's uncommon for an infection to spread from one tooth to another. Usually infection presents as a localized swelling with localized bone destruction. This is dangerous and needs to be treated immediately.
They symptoms that would be noticed would be increased pain, bleeding, swelling, and looseness of teeth.
Tooth infection can cause swelling, pain, and/or fever.
Tooth decay that penetrates the enamel protective covering will spread eight times faster and needs to be treated immediately. Procrastinating will allow it to reach the center of the tooth where the blood vessels are located. If that happens, you no longer have a simple cavity and then need a root canal and crown which will cost thousands of dollars or the loss of the tooth. It is a far better idea to intercept problems early. In fact it is an even better idea to identify why the cavity happened in the first place and modify your eating habits. My patients seldom get cavities.
