Identifying an Abscess
Symptoms include intense throbbing pain, localized swelling, a bad taste in your mouth, or fever. If you notice a bubble or pimple on your gums near a tooth, this is a sign of infection. Please contact us right away to prevent the spread of bacteria.
Our Treatment Approach
We focus on draining the infection and addressing the source of the problem, often through root canal therapy or targeted antibiotics. We provide a safe, sterile environment for your care. Your safety is our primary focus while we work to resolve the infection.
Why Act Quickly?
Infections in the mouth can spread to the jaw, neck, or even other parts of the body if left untreated. We make it easy to get an emergency appointment at our Sunrise office. Early intervention is the key to minimizing discomfort and saving your natural tooth.
