How Dental Infections Spread
Dental infections are typically caused by bacteria that live in the mouth. These bacteria can enter the tooth or gum tissue through a cavity, crack, or injury. Dental infections are not contagious, but the bacteria that cause them can be spread through saliva, such as by sharing utensils, kissing, or other close contact. Practicing good oral hygiene and care can prevent dental infections from developing or spreading.
Preventing Dental Infections
Dental infections can be prevented by practicing proper oral hygiene by brushing teeth with fluoride toothpaste after every meal or at least twice a day, visiting the dentist every 6 months or once a year for an early examination and diagnosis, reducing the consumption of sweet, sticky foods and carbonated beverages, and avoiding harmful substances such as tobacco and alcohol.
Risks of Untreated Dental Infections
Ignoring a tooth infection can lead to severe health risks. A bacterial infection that starts in the tooth or gums can spread to the jaw, sinuses, or bloodstream, leading to dangerous health conditions such as osteomyelitis (bone infection), Ludwig’s angina (a serious throat infection), or even sepsis. Symptoms like persistent fever, facial swelling, or difficulty breathing or swallowing call for immediate medical intervention.

How We Diagnose Dental Infections
With 24hrdoc’s telehealth dental services, our online dentists conduct thorough evaluations to diagnose your infection. The process begins with a review of your dental history, followed by an assessment of symptoms such as pain, swelling, and tooth sensitivity.
During a virtual dentist appointment, patients describe their symptoms, and our professionals analyze visible signs like gum inflammation through video consultation. Getting tooth infection treatment online allows for real-time diagnosis and recommendations, so you get the right care without delay.

Treatments for Dental Infections
The right dental infection treatment depends on the severity of the infection.
Antibiotic therapy is indicated for severe local or facial space infections. Amoxicillin with clavulanic acid 500/128mg for 7-10 days is the medication of first choice. Clindamycin 600 mg for 7 days and macrolides such as erythromycin 500mg are prescribed in case of penicillin allergy. Analgesics are also prescribed to relieve fever and tooth pain.
While antibiotics for tooth infection can help manage bacterial growth and reduce inflammation, not all dental problems can be resolved with medication alone. In many cases, an in-person dental visit is necessary to fully address the source of the infection, such as a deep cavity.
