Yes - dental infections should never be ignored. Left untreated, the bacteria causing the infection can spread beyond the tooth into the surrounding gum tissue and jawbone, and in more serious cases, into the bloodstream or other parts of the body.
It is recommended to visit a dentist as soon as possible, as treatment and antibiotics may be needed.
Our Neutral Bay clinic offers after-hours availability for genuine dental emergencies. If you suspect a dental infection, call us now on 0426 651 885 to get seen quickly.
