Our dental practice has been helping patients in pain since 1983, and our 152+ five-star Google reviews attest to our speed, accuracy, and gentle manner.
Swelling in the mouth and face is typically linked to infected teeth, dental abscesses, gum infections, denture irritation or ulcers. During your emergency assessment, our Chester dentists will carefully check the area, identify the source of the problem and explain the best next steps.

Directions
Located off the A51 and A54, Tudor House Dental is incredibly convenient for patients driving from Chester City Centre or from Tarporley. Local bus routes run directly past our clinic, too.
Yes. Facial swelling can be a sign of infection and should be evaluated urgently, especially if it is getting worse, more painful, or accompanied by a toothache.
Go to A&E immediately if swelling is affecting your breathing, swallowing, eyes, or neck, or if you have a high fever or feel seriously unwell. You can call 111 for advice if you’re unsure.
A swollen gum is typically caused by trapped food, gum infection, decay, an abscess, trauma, a broken tooth, a wisdom tooth problem or irritation from a denture or sharp edge.
Mild irritation can sometimes settle, but should not be ignored. If there is swelling, pus, pain, bleeding or a bad taste, book an appointment at Tudor House Dental Surgery.
Antibiotics may be needed in some cases, but they do not always treat the source of the problem. You may still need cleaning, drainage, or dental treatment to prevent the infection from returning.
A gum abscess may look like a small pimple, lump or swelling on the gum. It can feel tender, release pus, and leave a bad taste in the mouth.
Painful ulcers can be urgent if they make it difficult to eat or speak.
Most minor mouth ulcers heal within 1 to 2 weeks. If an ulcer lasts longer than 2 weeks, keeps returning, bleeds easily, feels hard or is getting bigger, book an appointment at Tudor House Dental Surgery.
Keep the area clean, rinse gently with warm salty water, avoid chewing on the painful side and take suitable pain relief if needed. Do not try to burst swelling or drain an abscess yourself.
