What is a dental abscess?

 

A dental abscess is a pocket of infection that can develop in the tooth, gums, or surrounding bone. It is often caused by untreated decay, injury, or gum disease.

Without treatment, the infection can worsen and may affect your overall health.

Signs of a dental abscess or infection

 

You may need urgent care if you notice:

  • Swelling in the gums, face, or jaw
  • Severe or throbbing tooth pain
  • Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
  • A bad taste in your mouth
  • Fever or feeling unwell
  • Pain when chewing or touching the area

If swelling is spreading or you have difficulty breathing or swallowing, seek immediate medical attention.

Why prompt treatment is important

 

A dental abscess will not go away on its own.

  • Infection can spread to surrounding tissue
  • Pain and swelling may worsen
  • Delayed care can lead to more complex treatment

Getting care early helps protect your health and relieve discomfort faster.

How we treat a dental abscess.

Treatment depends on the severity and location of the infection.

Evaluation and diagnosis

We examine the affected area to determine the source and extent of the infection.

Infection control

Treatment may involve draining the abscess and addressing the source of infection.

Tooth restoration

If the tooth can be saved, we may recommend treatment such as a dental crown in Walnut Creek to restore strength and function.

Ongoing care and monitoring

We provide guidance and follow up care to ensure proper healing and prevent recurrence, often through preventative dentistry in Walnut Creek.

What to do before your appointment.

If you suspect a dental abscess, these steps may help until you are seen:

  • Rinse gently with warm salt water
  • Use a cold compress for swelling
  • Avoid pressure on the affected area
  • Do not ignore worsening symptoms
  • Call our office immediately for guidance

 

Our emergency dentistry in Walnut Creek team can help you determine the urgency of your situation.
