A mouth infection occurs when bacteria, viruses, or fungi invade the oral tissues, leading to pain, swelling, and discomfort. Common causes include poor oral hygiene, gum disease, tooth decay, or viral infections like herpes. Symptoms may involve redness, ulcers, bad breath, or pus formation.
Treatment depends on the cause—antibiotics for bacterial infections, antifungals for yeast infections, and proper dental care for prevention. Maintaining good oral hygiene, avoiding sugary foods, and regular dental checkups can help prevent infections. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention to prevent complications.
Early treatment ensures faster recovery and better oral health!
