What Are Tooth Infections & How Can Telehealth Help?

Tooth infections occur when bacteria invade the pulp of a tooth, leading to pain, swelling, and potential complications. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent abscesses or systemic infections.

Understanding Tooth Infections

A tooth infection, also known as pulpitis or dental abscess, typically results from untreated cavities, trauma, or gum disease. Common symptoms include persistent tooth pain, swelling of the gums or face, and sensitivity to hot or cold.

Left untreated, infections can spread to surrounding tissues, cause fever, and lead to more serious health issues. Early intervention is crucial for effective recovery.
