An infection in pulp tissue can spread to the bone or tissue below the\ntooth and cause a dental abscess. This can lead to sepsis, an often-fatal\nreaction to infection. However, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premierwalkindental.com\/root-canal-therapy.html\">root canal<\/a>\nin Rockledge can prevent sepsis from occurring by stopping the infection while\nit\u2019s still located inside the pulp of the tooth. Keep reading to learn how to\nrecognize and prevent a dental abscess. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Signs of a Mouth Infection <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Contact your dentist if you experience any of these signs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Tooth pain in Rockledge <\/li><li>Sensitive teeth <\/li><li>Fever <\/li><li>Bitter taste in mouth <\/li><li>Swelling in the gums, jaw, or glands in the neck\n<\/li><li>Bad breath <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Infection After Dental Work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When someone receives dental work, such as a tooth\nextraction, a filling, or a root canal, it may cause bleeding and an opening\nwhere bacteria can enter and wreak havoc on their system. This is why it\u2019s\nrecommended to go on antibiotics shortly before and after getting dental work\ndone, especially if you have a condition like diabetes, heart disease, or\nHIV\/AIDS, all of which can compromise your immune system. Tell your dentist\nabout any conditions or medications you are on that could interact with the\nantibiotics, just to be on the safe side. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Prevent Dental Infection <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Preventing infections in your mouth can lower your\nlikelihood of contracting sepsis. Keeping up a good oral hygiene routine is the\nbest method of doing so. Integrate the following steps into your daily life to\nkeep your teeth healthy and prevent a dental abscess:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Gently brush your teeth at least twice a day\nwith fluoride toothpaste and brush with soft bristles.<\/li><li>Floss between your teeth at least once every\nday, ideally after every meal or snack.<\/li><li>Never use your teeth to open packages or carry\nthings. Your teeth are strong, but they are not meant to be used as tools. <\/li><li>Visit your dentist\u2019s office at least once every\nsix months for a professional cleaning and checkup. Your dentist can diagnose\nproblems early enough that they never have a chance to turn into a abscess. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have recently had dental work done, watch for the\nsigns of infection listed above. Tell your dentist if any of them sound\nfamiliar, and they can work on protecting you from sepsis and saving your life.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Julie Fox earned her dental degree from the Ohio State\nUniversity College of Dentistry.
