When to See a Dentist

Proper diagnosis and treatment of dental infection is important to prevent its spread to other parts of the face and even to the bloodstream.

Most toothaches will need a trip to the dentist. You have to get the cause of the toothache addressed, or it will not start to heal.
Your Melbourne CBD dentist can evaluate your condition and recommend treatment conditions.
Sometimes, a toothache is a sign of a severe problem.
Other signs you should see your dentist right away include:
- Fever
- Pus or blood on or near the painful tooth
- Inflamed jaw
These can all point to a dental abscess, an issue that requires immediate treatment.
