DENTAL ABSCESS SELF TEST
The following self-test involves some questions, that if answered yes,
may signify that you have or will have a dental abscess and should have
a dental examination by your dentist as soon as possible.
- Do you have bad breath or a foul taste in your mouth?
- Do you have an earache?
- Do you have an intermittent or continuous throbbing pain or toothache?
- Do you have a general weakness and ill feeling?
- Do you have a fever?
- Do you have tender, swollen glands on the same side as the toothache?
- Do you notice the onset of pain when you are eating or drinking?
Although these are some of the questions associated with a dental abscess,
answering yes to any of them may also signify other medical or dental
conditions. Professional care should be obtained as soon as possible.
