How Dental Abscess Works

A dental abscess typically forms when bacteria infect the pulp inside a tooth, the gum tissue, or the surrounding bone. Common symptoms include severe toothache, swelling in the gums or face, sensitivity to hot or cold, and even fever. Left untreated, the infection can spread to other areas of the body, leading to more serious health concerns.

Why Dental Abscess with Breeze?

Treatment for a dental abscess involves draining the infection and addressing the underlying cause. This may include root canal therapy, a tooth extraction, or antibiotics to eliminate the infection. At Breeze, our gentle, personalized approach ensures you’ll feel cared for every step of the way.
