Ease the Pain of Dental Abscess With Our Modern Dental Procedures
A dental abscess is a pus-filled cavity that can form in the teeth, gums, or jaw bone and can cause a lot of pain and discomfort.
Dental abscesses can cause more serious problems like swelling, tooth loss, or even sepsis if left unmanaged. They can lead to severe damage to your oral and overall health.

Dental Problems
Dental Services That Can Address Dental Abscess
- Tooth Extraction. If the affected tooth can no longer be saved, tooth extraction can help alleviate discomfort, and your dentist will drain the abscess to prevent infection.
- Root Canal Therapy. Root canal therapy safely manages the infected tissue, seals off the area, and helps prevent further infection so that you won't have any long-term damage or discomfort from it.
- Wisdom Teeth Extraction. Don't ignore dental abscesses on your wisdom teeth; the pain and risks can be severe. A wisdom tooth extraction can help address the infection and preserve your healthy smile.
- Emergency Dentist. With swift treatment from an emergency dentist, the infection can be cleaned and drained effectively. Plus, antibiotics may be prescribed to help clear your discomfort.
Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions About
Dental Abscess
Is a dental abscess a serious dental problem?
A dental abscess is a serious matter that can cause immense pain, infection, and even tooth loss if not addressed. This infection can also spread to other body parts and cause a life-threatening effect. Seeking professional help from the dentist as soon as possible is highly recommended for optimal oral health.
What causes a dental abscess?
A dental abscess is caused by a bacterial infection in the mouth that can lead to a painful and uncomfortable experience. The buildup of pus beneath your teeth or gums can occur when impacted teeth are present, as well as from tooth decay or gum disease. Maintaining healthy habits can help keep these uncomfortable issues at bay.
What are the signs and symptoms of a dental abscess?
Dental abscesses can be painful and cause damage to your teeth if left unaddressed. It is important to recognise the signs and get prompt treatment from a dentist. Symptoms may include tenderness or sensitivity in the gums, a bad taste in the mouth, a fever, facial swelling near the infected tooth area, swollen lymph nodes under the jaw or neck, and pus draining in your mouth.
Can a dental abscess be managed at home?
A dental abscess can be a painful problem that needs professional attention; however, with the right management at home, like warm salt water rinses, you can help reduce discomfort while awaiting your dentist appointment. Ibuprofen is available without a prescription at drugstores or online and can provide temporary pain relief. Please consult your doctor before taking any medication.
What happens if a dental abscess is not managed?
Left unmanaged, a dental abscess can cause serious health complications that may require urgent medical attention. Not only could it affect nearby lymph nodes or spread to the heart and brain, but in rare cases, it can be life-threatening. Please see your dentist if you think an abscess is forming. Catching it early will help keep the infection under control and protect your overall well-being.
