What causes a submandibular gland abscess besides your teeth?

Submandibular absess can be cause by Salmonella. Salmonella species represent uncommon causative agents in focal infections of the head and neck. An immunocompromised condition can be a critical predisposing factor for Salmonella submandibular abscess. They can also be caused by a deep tooth absess running down through the mandibal, earning it the name, "sub-mandibular". In either case, the infection can be quite painful, and very serious if left untreated. The absess needs to be drained and treated with antibiotics.
