Infection & Swelling

Did you know that a tooth infection can spread to other parts of your body including your face, neck and heart? Infections can also cause sepsis, or high levels of bacteria in your blood which can travel to distant parts of your body. Gums can swell for various reasons, but the most common ones are infections, plaque buildup, and soft tissue damage. These issues occur due to the high volume of bacteria in the mouth, mainly due to poor oral hygiene. The experienced dentists at Jax Smiles Dentistry can help identify the cause of the swelling and provide dental treatment to alleviate your pain.
Your Smile Is Important To Us
Infection & Swelling
Swollen gums are an early sign of gum disease. The receding gums can lead to tooth loss and require you to perform extensive dental restoration procedures. Swelling can also be an indicator of an abscessed tooth. The cavities caused by the spread of bacteria can lead to severe infection and — if left unattended — can also lead to tooth loss.
Our experienced dentist will carefully evaluate the condition of your teeth and gums. Using an x-ray and a detailed physical assessment, we can determine the reason behind the swollen gums. If you have an infection or severe tooth decay, you might require a root canal to preserve the teeth and improve your overall dental health.
