Having a Fever with Tooth Pain Means We Need to See YouExperiencing tooth pain along with a fever is a sign that something more serious might be happening in your mouth. While tooth pain alone may not always indicate a severe issue, the presence of a fever suggests a potential underlying problem that requires immediate attention.

At Raptou Family Dental in Columbus, OH, our team understands the urgency of addressing dental concerns, especially when accompanied by symptoms like fever. Ignoring such symptoms could lead to serious complications, including the loss of a tooth or even broader health issues.

If you’re experiencing both tooth pain and a fever, it’s crucial to schedule an appointment with us right away by calling (614) 427-0449 .


What a Fever Could Indicate


While tooth pain and fever individually may not be cause for immediate concern, their combination typically indicates an underlying infection. This infection could stem from various sources, such as untreated injuries, dental decay, gum disease, or a tooth abscess. These conditions often require professional intervention as they commonly develop beneath the tooth’s surface, deep within the gums.


Possible Treatment Approaches


The specific treatment approach depends on the nature and severity of your condition. During your appointment, our experienced dentists, Dr. Nicholas Raptou and Dr. Isaac Raptou, will assess your situation and recommend the most appropriate course of action.

Typically, treatment for tooth pain and fever caused by dental issues involves prescribing antibiotics to address the infection. Additionally, we may suggest at-home symptom management techniques, such as over-the-counter pain medication or cold compresses, to alleviate discomfort and reduce swelling.

Your treatment plan may begin with diagnostic imaging, such as an x-ray or CT scan, to precisely identify the underlying problem. Depending on the severity of the condition, treatment may involve draining pus or bacteria, performing a tooth extraction, or applying a protective crown or covering.
