A tooth infection can do more than cause a toothache—it may spread beyond the mouth if left untreated. Warning signs include facial swelling, fever, swollen lymph nodes, fatigue, difficulty swallowing, bad breath, and persistent throbbing pain. In severe cases, the infection can spread to the jaw, neck, or bloodstream, becoming a medical emergency. Early dental treatment is essential to stop the infection, relieve pain, and protect your overall health.
