Abscessed Tooth

First Aid for an abscess

Abscesses are infections that occur around the root of a tooth or in the space between the teeth and gums. Abscesses are a serious condition that can damage tissue and surrounding teeth, with the infection possibly spreading to other parts of the body if left untreated. Therefore it is important that you call our office as soon as possible at 1-800-864-8441 so that we can get your long term treatment underway quickly.

Long Term care for an abscessed tooth
A dental abscess is treated in a number of ways, depending on the severity of the infection. If the gum has caused the abscess, the gum will require a deep cleaning or surgical treatment, or the tooth may need to be removed. If decay has caused the abscess, the tooth will require a root canal or will need to be removed. In many cases, a small incision into the gum is needed to drain the abscess. Antibiotics and pain medication are often required to further treat the abscess and relieve discomfort. Your regular dentist will follow up with further treatment at a later date.
