What Is a Dental Abscess?
A dental abscess is a pocket of pus caused by a bacterial infection in the tooth or gum.
It often results from untreated decay, deep cracks, or gum disease — and can spread quickly without treatment.
There are three main types of abscesses:
Periapical Abscess
At the tip of a tooth root (caused by decay or trauma).
Periodontal Abscess
In the gums, next to a tooth root (from gum infection).
Gingival Abscess
On the surface of the gum (caused by foreign objects or food debris).
Untreated infections can lead to severe pain, swelling, fever, or even jaw and sinus involvement — making urgent dental care essential.
Signs & Symptoms of a Dental Abscess
If you notice any of the following, call our office immediately for same-day evaluation:
- Throbbing or severe tooth pain
- Swelling in the face, jaw, or gums
- Sensitivity to heat or pressure
- A pimple-like bump on your gum
- Fever or general fatigue
- Foul taste or odor in the mouth
- Difficulty swallowing or opening your mouth
Our emergency team provides immediate relief while addressing the root cause of infection.
How Petrolia Dentistry Treats Dental Abscesses
We use CT-guided precision and same-day technology to diagnose and treat infections effectively and comfortably.
CT Imaging & Diagnosis
We begin with 3D dental CT imaging to identify the infection’s source, extent, and any bone involvement.
This digital precision ensures no hidden pockets of infection are missed.
Pain Relief & Drainage
We relieve pressure by draining the abscess and cleaning the infected area — instantly easing pain and swelling.
Root Canal Therapy (If Needed)
If the infection stems from inside the tooth, we perform root canal therapy to remove infected tissue and seal the root to prevent recurrence.
Same-Day CEREC Restoration
We restore the treated tooth with a custom CEREC crown, created on-site in about an hour — no temporary crown or second visit needed.
Medication & Healing
We prescribe antibiotics or anti-inflammatories if needed, ensuring the infection heals fully and safely.
