How is a tooth abscess managed?
The most important action that can be taken in the case of a dental abscess is an immediate visit to an emergency dentist, which will hopefully resolve the problem as soon as possible.
In some cases, the pain caused by a dental abscess can subside after a while, so some people may think they have no reason to make an appointment with their dentist. However, untreated tooth abscesses usually reoccur.
How is a dental abscess treated?
An X-ray may need to be taken to identify the location of the tooth with the abscess. If you are suffering from a dental abscess, you usually need to undergo root canal treatment or tooth extraction, along with taking a course of antibiotics.
At Pearl Dental Clinic, we have painkillers, antibiotics and mouthwashes on-site in the clinic, so that if you wish, you can start taking your medication straight away without any delay.
