Odontogenic infections of major proportions have always attracted attention because of their etiology, signs and symptoms, in addition to their rapid evolution and the possibility of leading to death. The infection can be located specifically in one dental element or even communicate and reach regions beyond the oral cavity, this is due to spaces and anatomical structures that exist in the head and neck complex. The present work is a clinical report of a 22-year-old patient with odontogenic infection with cervical extension and extensive volumetric increase in the submental region. The patient was seen in a hospital environment, with severe pain, significant volumetric increase, trismus, difficulty eating, and poor oral hygiene. The complexity of the case was relevant because it was necessary to perform a tracheostomy, besides the exodontia of elements 36 and 38, and the cervical drainage. After the surgical intervention, the patient remained stable and recovered well, being carried out procedures and care such as: milking of purulent exudate, change of dressings, physiotherapy of mouth opening, warm compress in the region of edema.
