Understanding Dental Swelling
- The Cause: Swelling is caused by a buildup of pus from a bacterial infection, typically originating from a dead or dying nerve inside a tooth.
- The Location: It can appear as a localized 'gum boil' or as a more diffuse swelling of the cheek, jaw, or even under the eye.
- The Danger: An untreated dental infection can spread to other parts of the body and, in rare cases, become life-threatening.
