A member asked:
What are signs of gum infection and can it cause fever and ear pain and face pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Gingival Infection: Gingival infection can be caused by periodontal or endodontic issues. Signs usually include swelling, redness, and pain. Referred pain to the ear and face is common. These issues cannot be treated at home, so please call a dentist for an appointment. If you have a fever it means the infection is spreading systemically, so act ASAP.
