Tooth infection face swollen

Common Questions and Answers about Tooth infection face swollen

infection

Hello and hope you are doing well. I certainly think seeing an ENT is a good idea. Infected tooth roots from the upper teeth can go inside the maxillary sinus and cause sinusitis. The swelling could be due to this infection or due to the lymph nodes. He might need a CT of the sinuses for more information. However, if he does have an infected tooth, he will still need to have this addressed as dental infections can be potentially life-threatening. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

I had a fever and then i started to notice that swollen part of my face and the i thought something about my tooth that its just a pus. So i took AMOX for like 3 days now and my face is getting small now and then i noticed that theres a bump inside, under my nose part. Im quite a bit worried about it because its kind of a bit painful when i touch it. can anyone tell me what this could be?

my lower left jaw became swollen and numb after a tooth infection. three day ago.

Im concerned that i may have an infection where my tooth was removed on the right side. I just need an honest opinon about it.

Hey tommygirl834. Welcome to the forum. Is the right side of your face swollen? Any other symptoms perhaps, like pain or tingling? A tooth abscess or other dental issue may cause it. (Dentist) If not, check for common food allergies. They can affect either side. I used to react to eggplant in the past, and it always affected my right side. Keep an eye out for peanuts and other nuts, shellfish, wheat,eggs,dairy,soy, as they are more common than other foods.

my tooth on the left side of my face cracked it is the 3rd one in now my check is really hard and it hurts really badly and my check is also very infected. what should i do does anyone know what could be wrong.

the whole right side of my face is still kinda swollen but not as bad. yet i still have the infection. the bubble is diffrent as it seems because its likes its not wanting to pop. i sterized a needle and tried popping it. till i realized the needle would not go through the abcess(bump). thats when its started hurting from irritation. so basicaly i am now sitting here about 4-5 days later. i am taking cylhmidicilin or however its spelled.

Cheek is a little swollen along with my gland. However I have been having some numbness/tightness on face on the same side. Is this because of the abcess/infection. My surgeon said yes to the gland area but the numbness doesn't have anything to do with it. Does anyone else have any input that might help me. This is tooth 31. Will this cause numbness/tingling feeling on my right side of my face. Thank you for any input.

last week i developed an abcsess in my tooth. my cheek became very swollen. the doctor said the infection from the abscess had passed from my tooth into my cheek. they put me on keeflex. within 24 hours about 60% of the swelling in my cheek had subsided. i am now on day 6 of a 10 days worth of the keeflex.

I noticed my dogs face near her cheek is swollen and her neck on the same side is also swollen, its soft in her neck not hard. It wasnt a gradual growth i just notices it last night. Shes acting completly normal shell let me touch it. She does have bad teeth but my vet has never been able to check her mouth for as long as ive had her. I adopted her and she not very nice with other people (we have to muzzle her and sedate her prior to going to the vet). Any ideas of what could be causing this?

my heart is pinching and my bones hurt badly now can a decay under the crown no tooth left to hold pin have a right swollen face and numbness can be caused by the decay that is under a crown that been there 10 years?

Hi Guys sorry not been in touch for so so long, just learning to live with this ms monster etc etc.. Ok my problem is i awoke 10 days ago to an extremely swollen right side of my face - i went to GP and was given 2 x different antibiotics taking 3 x of each a day for a week.. I now have finished the course and adjoining rt side of my nose i can feel a big lump - its so so painful - hard too.. like between my cheek and jaw..

my nasal/ear passages have been swollen lately as well. When exposed to cold air it caused pain from my front tooth through my sinuses to my head. Dentist told me it was sinus infection & to see doc. Doc said sinusitus & gave antibiotics again. I went to an ENT who says everything looks "fine" in my sinuses so far (waiting for insurance to ok a CAT scan).After antibiotics I found that there was still pain in my upper molars.

Germs may also travel from a nearby infected area (for example, an ear infection or a tooth abscess) or enter the body during an injury (such as a gun or knife wound) or surgery. In children with heart disease or a birth defect, such as those with tetralogy of fallot, infections are more able to reach the brain from the intestines, teeth, or other body areas.

The dentist was not able to numb the area and was not able to pull the tooth. He said that it was probably an infection and he prescribed antibiotics. When he tried to numb the area he injected me over and oover again and I left the office with an extremely swollen face. The swelling went down by the next day except for a lump just in front of my ear. I've been on antibiotics for six days now and am now very swollen on the side of my face and in alot of pain.

after years of complaining about infection in my upper jaw and many tooth extractions later I still have problems. After the last tooth was extracted I became sicker than I felt before. The small pieces of pus that I had occaisionally experienced was now coming almost weekly from the back of my throat. My whole face feels swollen as well as my neck and between my shoulder blades. I have a cough that won't quit . I smell and taste a bad odor almost continually.

Today he woke up, with left side of his face swollen and eye almost swollen shut. Any recommendations. Please help. No insurance. Thank you.

It's not unusual for an infection of an upper tooth to leak into the maxillary sinuses, so put your first money on the dentist.

But, by Sunday night when she arrived at school, her face had swollen up and she was having puss drain from her gum. She called her oral surgeon this morning. He prescribed penicillin (the same antibiotic she was given for the tooth extraction). He also wanted her to go to an oral surgeon out by her college so that he could have it flushed out. She doesn't want to go because the surgeon is an hour away. Do you think that the penicillin alone can take care of this infection?

I know that if you use antibiotic too much your body can build up a resistance to them and not work properly. She does not have health insurance and right now her face is severly swollen. she has said everytime she goes to the hospital (3x) all they do is give her antibiotics and send her home. She really need some help. Does anyone know of a place that will take someone without dental insurance in Lake County, IL.

This past Sunday I was in the car with my family and all of a sudden I had this really sharp horrible pain shoot through the left side of my face. It didn't feel like it was the tooth that had the filling but above it and mroe toward the sinus cavity. The tooth itself is mildy sensitive to pressure, but soothed by chewing or drinking hot or cold. and the swollen cheek and gums are making all the teeth on that side of my my face throb.

In addition, root canaled tooth is not always guaranteed to be free of infection. If the culptit of infection is root canaled tooth, the cause is generally incomplete canal debridement and obturation. Seeing an endodontist is advised..

I later heard a pop at the top of my gum and I went to my new dentist and begged him to cut the gum..and pus and a piece of tooth..an infection..that still is sweelling in my face ten months now..and i been every where..you name it..You will need a hot water bottle...to place on where its bothering you..drinking tea thats good..use listerine no dye...and baking soda and peroxide toothpaste..colgate..

I had a broken tooth, got an infection that was cured with antibiotics.The dentist said that maybe I didn't need roor canal if the nerve was alive, whihc did not seem the case. He intalled a temporary crown and proposed that then he would take it away in some time and see if the nerve was alive or not. The morning after the tempory crown was done i woke up with the face swollen and terrible pain.

Thanks for ur reply. I have had the tooth out about 4 hours back. Put some ice pack on the swollen left jaw. The numbness has just worn out And I m feeling the pain now. I have taken the gauge out. Just taken Ibuprofen 400mg with half glass of water. My dentist has called after 4 days for implants I have 3 tooth missing now. Does implant have complication because I hear that some drilling of jaw bone is required for implants. It sounds so frightening. I would appreciate ur opinion.

Severe toothache of a lower leftside tooth has been diagnosed as infection by my dentist; this tooth had a long-ago root canal and subsequent crown so he recommended re-evaluation by endodontist. (my dentist first presribed antibiotic (clindamycin) and vicodin for severe pain. Saw the endo yesterday, said to wait for infection to clear; then will re-do the root canal (either by drilling hole etc, plan A, or the apicentry (sp?) procedure.

HELP! For the past two years I have been getting painful recurring face infection (boil) on different parts of my face (my chin, above eye, on rim of ear, on skin just in front of earlobe... anywhere. I feel one coming on and I call in a perscription for Dicloxacillin 500 mg and take 4 a day (28 pills). It goes away and I am fine for 3 to 4 months and I get another one different place. The Dr.
