Tooth Abscesses Should be Taken Very Seriously and Require Immediate Treatment.

Tooth Abscess Symptoms:

  • Swelling
  • Redness
  • Fever
  • Pain ranging from mild to severe
Abscesses are usually caused by bacterial tooth infection and rarely get better on their own and home remedies for tooth infections are usually ineffective. Left untreated, abscesses can affect adjacent teeth, surrounding gums, the jaw and facial bones, and even spread infection to other areas of your body.

  • No judgment

Call our office today and ask for an Emergency Consultation because you think you have an abscess.

You may swish and spit with a lukewarm saline solution to ease pain until you can make it in.
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • Mix the salt and water until salt is dissolved. Optional – Boil the salt water solution for 10 minutes and cool to room temperature before use. Boiling the solution will sterilize it and minimize the risk of introducing new bacteria to the irritated area.

Emergency Dental Care
There may be some cases where you experience severe tooth pain or damage that must be treated before your regularly scheduled dentist appointment.
Tooth Knocked Out
A knocked-out tooth is a dental emergency. If your tooth gets knocked out, you only have approximately 30 to 60 minutes to save it.
Lost Filling
A tooth that has a lost filling is fragile and at risk for breaking. Also, with the filling off, the deep parts of your tooth are exposed and you run the risk of introducing bacteria and debris into your tooth which could cause infection and decay.
