Facial swellings
Facial swellings can happen for a variety of reasons like poor nutrition, side effects of medication, gingivitis, but if it is accompanied by pain, it certainly seeks urgent dental care. Abscesses, the formation of pockets of pus due to bacterial growth, followed by swelling and bleeding is one of the common reasons to seek emergency dental help.
Bleeding or accident involving damage to your mouth or teeth
If your family member has come across bleeding or accident involving damage to your teeth or mouth, rinse their mouth with warm water to keep the area clean and apply cold compresses on your face to reduce swelling. Call Keysborough Dental Surgery for emergency help on 03 9798 6666.
