Online Doctors And Dental Infections — How Does Treatment Work?
You might be confused about how doctors treat dental infections online. However, with technological advancements and the world just recovering from the extraordinary conditions of the pandemic, dentists have found ways to help their patients online.
TelMDCare also has a panel of virtual doctors that can help treat dental infections online. Here’s all you need to know about it.
Dental Infections
A dental infection is a tooth abscess. It’s a bacterial infection that causes pus to build up around different parts of a person’s teeth.
Causes of Dental Infections
A dental infection can occur due to several reasons. These include:
- Poor dental hygiene
- Active cavity
- Tooth decay
- Dental injury
- Wound from any other dental procedure catching bacteria and turning into an infection
The bacteria enter the root of your teeth through a crack or wound in the teeth or the gums and cause an infection that leads to pus building up and swelling.
Symptoms of Dental Infection
Not every swollen gum or toothache indicates a dental infection. Your doctor will check out your gums and teeth and identify if it’s a dental infection or something else. Usual symptoms of dental infections include:
- Severe, pulsating toothache
- Pain traveling to the ear, neck, or the jawbone
- Sensitivity to hot or cold foods
- Pain in biting or chewing
- Swollen gums
- Bad taste in the mouth
- Bad breath
