What You Gain by Treating It Early
1
Less Chance of Spread
Untreated infections can reach nearby teeth and the jawbone, and in rare cases become a serious medical concern.
2
Pain That Actually Goes Away
Pain relievers may dull the discomfort for a while, but only treating the infection itself resolves it.
3
Protection for Work You’ve Already Had Done
An infection after a procedure or under a restoration needs prompt attention to safeguard the care you’ve invested in.
4
A Simpler Treatment Path
Early treatment often means a more straightforward fix. Waiting can turn a tooth that was treatable into one that has to be removed.

Dental Infection FAQs for Manor Patients
How can I tell if I have a dental infection?
Look for ongoing pain, swelling, a bad taste or smell, sensitivity that lingers, or a mild fever. Some infections are easy to see, such as a bump on the gums, while others are subtle, like soreness beneath a crown. An exam is the surest way to find out what’s happening.
Will an infection clear up if I leave it alone?
No. The bacteria behind a dental infection have to be dealt with directly, through drainage, a root canal, a cleaning, or another targeted treatment. Time by itself won’t resolve it.
Is swelling after an extraction normal, or a sign of infection?
Some swelling during the first day or two is expected. If it keeps getting worse after that, comes with a fever, or brings a foul taste or smell, it may point to infection and should be checked.
When should I go to the emergency room?
If you have facial swelling, trouble breathing or swallowing, or a high fever along with dental pain, get emergency medical care right away and call our office too.
How much does treatment cost?
It depends on the source and severity of the infection. A cleaning generally costs less than a root canal or extraction. We offer a guaranteed payment plan to help make treatment manageable.
