💡 Think it’s just “heatiness”? Think again! 🦷

A patient suffered from a swollen face for 6 months, thinking it was a minor issue. Turns out, it was caused by impacted wisdom teeth, leading to a rare condition called odontogenic fistula. 😱 This is when infection breaks through to the skin, causing painful facial swelling and even open sores.

The solution? Targeted dental treatment, including wisdom tooth removal and proper drainage. 💉🪥 Within a week, their face healed, but the key takeaway is:

👉 Don’t ignore persistent facial swelling!

Check with a dentist, not just a general doctor.
Wisdom teeth can wreak havoc if left untreated.
Stay proactive about oral health for a happier, healthier you! 😊
