10. Pain in the Mouth

Any time the teeth or a single tooth is sore for an extended period, an individual should speak to a dentist. Pain is the most common symptom of abscesses and may be the only one. The dentist can determine whether or not an abscess is to blame for the pain. Likewise, a general practitioner will be able to offer antibiotics to prevent a worsening condition while the patient waits to consult a dentist.
