DescriptionSepsis claims an estimated 44,000 lives each year (The UK Sepsis Trust). Sepsis following a bacterial infection from a dental condition or treatment is rare. However, this life-threatening condition can occur if patients are not managed appropriately. Carla Fleming (Consultant Senior Lecturer at Bristol Dental Hospital) will be joining us to ensure we are all aware of the signs, symptoms and management of sepsis and life threatening acute swellings of the face and neck.
