Facial Swelling 1 article

Facial swelling in dentistry requires identifying whether the source is odontogenic and judging how far infection or inflammation has spread. Trismus, difficulty swallowing, systemic illness, cellulitis and signs of airway compromise change the urgency, while examination seeks the responsible tooth or tissue. The topic is assessment and escalation of dental-related swelling rather than a diagnosis of every medical cause of facial enlargement.
