Acute infections of the mouth come from bacterial or fungal microorganisms and the caused lesions concern the oral and dental tissues. The more common dental lesions are the acute dental abscess, the acute dentoalveolar abscess, the cellulitis of dental origin and the periodontal abscess; the more common oral lesions are the acute necrotizing ulcerating gingivitis, the acute pericoronitis, the acute herpetic stomatitis, the herpan­gina and the oral candidiasis. When these infections are accompanied by systemic symptomatology and signs, patient will not infrequently present to medical practitio­ners. The treatment is systemic and/or local with antimicrobial agents, medicated mouthwashes, lozenges, or pellets, local drainage and specific topical remedies, for a particular symptom and oral hygiene. Though, few of these patients can be treated completely, with the avoidance of recurrence, by medical practitioners. The commencement of the effective therapy must be followed by consultation or referral to the patient’s dental practitioner.
