A dental abscess is an infection at the root of a tooth or between the gum and a tooth. It’s often caused by severe tooth decay, trauma to the tooth, or gum disease.

A dental abscess is typically caused by untreated cavities, severe gum disease, or trauma to the tooth. Bacteria enter the tooth or gum, leading to infection, swelling and the formation of pus.
Treatment usually involves draining the abscess to remove the infection. This may be followed by a root canal treatment to eliminate the source of the infection. In severe cases, tooth extraction might be indicated. Antibiotics may be prescribed to prevent the spread of infection to neighboring tissues.
Common symptoms may include severe, throbbing toothache, swelling in your face, cheek or gums, tender lymph nodes, and fever. If you experience these symptoms, seek care immediately.
No, a dental abscess will not go away without treatment. The infection can spread to other parts of your body, leading to serious health complications. It’s crucial to seek treatment as soon as possible.
Good oral hygiene is key to preventing a dental abscess. This includes brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and regular dental check-ups. Avoiding sugary foods and tobacco products can also reduce your risk.
If you suspect you have a dental abscess, contact Commonwealth Endodontics immediately. Our team will provide prompt guidance and care to relieve your pain and treat the infection.
We offer several sedation options to ensure your comfort during treatment, including nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral sedation (“pills”), IV conscious sedation, and general anesthesia.
