    Symptoms of a dental abscess typically include pain, swelling and redness of the mouth and face. With an advanced infection you can experience nausea, vomiting, fever and chills.


    The signs of dental adscesses typically include, but are not limited to, cavities, gum inflammation, oral swelling, tenderness with touch, pus drainage and sometimes difficulty or pain upon fully opening your mouth or swallowing. Universally, there is tenderness to palpation of the infected area. If you are experiencing any of the above signs, you should see your dentist right away.
