Dental Abscess

A dental abscess is a painful, pus-filled infection that forms in the tooth or gums, typically caused by severe decay, gum disease, or a crack in the tooth. 

Symptoms of an abscess can include intense throbbing pain, swelling in the face or gums, fever, and even a foul taste in the mouth. Dental abscesses are serious infections that require immediate treatment, as they can spread to other areas of the body and lead to life-threatening complications.

Dental Surgery,  provides urgent care for dental abscesses, focusing on draining the infection and relieving pain. Our dentists may perform a root canal to remove infected tissue or, in severe cases, extract the affected tooth. We also prescribe antibiotics to control the infection and prevent it from spreading further.
