Cervicofacial cellulitis of dental origin is a serious and dreadful condition that poses a serious problem of therapeutic management. These infrequent complications of dental caries can be life threatening and constitute a real public health problem. Most often, these cellulites occur either as a result of inappropriate initial management or on a weakened site. This is a case report of a 55-year-old female diabetic patient who came to the clinic for recurrent spontaneous and provoked odontalgia, located on the left mandibular first molar for more than a year. The general condition of our patient at the first consultation was apparently good. Her history was diabetes and hypertension not followed up. It is therefore necessary to prohibit any prescription of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, especially as immunotherapy in cases of cervico-facial infections of dental origin in diabetic patients.
