A tooth abscess is a serious bacterial infection that forms a pocket of pus around a tooth or gums, often causing swelling, pain, and systemic health concerns requiring immediate professional dental intervention to prevent spread and further complications throughout body.
The dentist drains the infection, removes bacteria, treats the affected tooth, and may prescribe antibiotics to control infection and promote healing while addressing underlying causes such as decay or trauma through restorative or endodontic dental procedures based on clinical findings.
Treating a tooth abscess relieves pain, stops infection, protects surrounding tissues, prevents serious health risks, and restores oral stability and patient comfort while reducing the chance of infection spreading systemically and avoiding potentially life-threatening medical complications if left untreated promptly.
