When a child has a fever, many parents immediately think of colds or flu—but teplota u dětí, zvýšená tělesná teplota, která může být signálem infekce v ústní dutině. Also known as horečka u dětí, it often hides behind a sore gum, a hidden cavity, or even zubní kámen u dětí, tvrdý nános bakterií, který způsobuje zánět a bolest. Many don’t realize that a fever of 38°C or higher can be the body’s reaction to an infected tooth—not just a virus.
When a child complains of a toothache and suddenly develops a fever, it’s rarely a coincidence. Zubní hygiena dětí, pravidelné čištění a kontrola u zubaře is the first line of defense. If plaque builds up, bacteria spread to the gums, and from there, they can enter the bloodstream. That’s when the body raises the temperature to fight off the infection. It’s not just about swollen gums or bad breath—it’s about systemic risk. A child with untreated zubní kámen u dětí, náš běžný, ale často přehlížený problém might not cry about pain, but they’ll be lethargic, refuse food, and run a fever. And that’s when parents panic—without knowing the real cause.
Don’t wait for the fever to go away on its own. Check the gums—do they look red, swollen, or bleed when touched? Look for dark spots between teeth or a swollen cheek. If you see any of these, it’s not a cold—it’s a dental emergency. Giving paracetamol helps with the fever, but it doesn’t fix the source. Only a dentist can remove the infected tissue, clean the area, or treat the cavity before it spreads. Delaying care can lead to abscesses, lost baby teeth, or even damage to permanent teeth growing underneath.
That’s why regular check-ups matter. Even if your child has no complaints, a visit every six months catches problems early. Fluoride treatments, proper brushing habits, and limiting sugary snacks reduce the chance of both cavities and gum infections that trigger fever. And if your child already has zubní kámen u dětí, který se těžko odstraňuje doma, professional cleaning is the only way to stop the inflammation.
