What Are the Infections of the Teeth, Head and Neck?

Also called as ‘Space infections’, these are severe bacterial infections that spread from teeth or gums to the deeper tissues of the head and neck. These infections can cause swelling, pain, and even life-threatening complications if not treated promptly.

What are the Signs and Symptoms of Infections of the Teeth, Head and Neck?

  • Persistent facial or dental pain
  • Swelling in the face, jaw, or neck
  • Difficulty opening the mouth
  • Fever or chills
  • Trouble breathing or swallowing

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s essential to seek care immediately 

What Causes These Infections?

  • Untreated tooth decay or gum disease
  • Dental abscesses
  • Trauma or injury to teeth or soft tissues
  • Poor oral hygiene
  • Known medical conditions like blood sugar or immunocompromised state.

What Happens If You Ignore These Dental-Related Space Infections?

Ignoring space infections can lead to serious and potentially life-threatening complications, such as:

  • Airway Obstruction : Swelling can block your airway, making it difficult to breathe
  • Spread of Infection : The infection can spread to vital areas like the chest, brain, or bloodstream (sepsis).
  • Severe Pain and Discomfort : Worsening pain and swelling can significantly affect your daily life.
  • Permanent Tissue Damage : Untreated infections can destroy surrounding bones and soft tissues.
  • Longer Recovery Time : Delayed treatment often requires more invasive procedures and prolonged healing.
