Treatment
Tooth Abscess
A painful pocket of infection near a tooth or gum that needs prompt care to clear it.
An abscess is a pocket of infection at the root of a tooth or in the gum, often with swelling and throbbing pain.
We drain the infection, treat the source, and may prescribe antibiotics to help it clear.
Treating an abscess quickly relieves pain and stops the infection from spreading to other areas.
