Any dental issue is worthy of making an appointment to see your dentist. However, sometimes issues come up in between your regularly scheduled visits, and it’s important to assess whether these issues classify as an emergency. Mouth infections and tooth abscesses are very common, and swelling in the gums and face are one of the most common signs and symptoms. The longer infections are left, the worse they become, and the greater of a threat they are to your overall health. If your face and/or gums are swollen, see a dentist as soon as you’re able!
