Some of the symptoms of an abscess include the following\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Constant Pain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Even if the pain isn\u2019t too intense, you can bet it\u2019s an abscess if it just won\u2019t stop. It\u2019s common for cavities to cause off-and-on discomfort, but abscesses mean business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Swelling in Your Face and Neck<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n As your immune system battles with the bacterial overgrowth, lymph nodes in your head and neck may start to swell up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fever<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A regular cavity or chipped tooth shouldn\u2019t cause a fever.

These are opportunities for a dentist like Dr. Truong to catch potential problems before they cause you needless pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Just hearing the words \u201cdental abscess\u201d can send shivers of fear down your spine. Or tremors of pain through your jaw. Anyone who\u2019s had an abscess knows that they sure aren\u2019t fun.
