I have facial swelling from tooth, are the meds working?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probable abscess: If you have facial swelling, then you most likely have an infected tooth that now has an abscess that is growing creating the swelling. It is very important you see a dentist asap. He will advise you on the best course of treatment for the infection and the tooth. Regular dental visits and exams will help you prevent this type of pain and expense in the future.
