Dental Abscess

A dental abscess is a strong indicator of tooth infection. The sac of pus and other buildups found in teeth and gums cannot clear on their own without the intervention of a dentist. The severity of the abscess increases the longer it remains in place, meaning emergency care is necessary. If left untreated, it can quickly turn into a life-threatening situation when the infection spreads to the jaws and other body parts like the neck or head.

Common causes of dental abscess are deep cavities, a cracked tooth that leaves the inner tissues vulnerable to bacterial attacks, and ignored periodontal disease. Our dentists can give you the reprieve you need regardless of the infection’s cause. We also have experience dealing with periapical abscesses and will implement the most effective procedures to revive your dental health.
