Tooth abscesses are bacterial infections that take place in the gums, teeth or bones that surround the infected area.
Often very painful, a dental abscess will need to be treated immediately by an experienced dental professional.
Unfortunately, dental abscesses do not disappear on their own and the intervention of a specialist dentist will be needed to prevent further damage.
Dental abscesses can severely infect gums and cause damage to the bone.

Certainly. A tooth abscess is a serious dental emergency that will require seeking treatment immediately.
If left untreated the abscess can lead to a serious infection that can spread through the body, which can in the most serious circumstances have life-threatening effects.
The sooner this issue is treated, the better.
Here at the Gentle Dental, we know how painful a dental abscess can be. This is why we offer same-day appointments so we can quickly restore comfort and return your oral health back to a healthy state.
If you are experiencing the following symptoms, you are probably suffering from a dental abscess:
It is very important that you do not try to drain the abscess yourself. Do not squeeze or press on it.
By doing this, it can result in the infected material to seep deeper into tissues in the mouth.
Do not use needles or any other sharp instruments to drain the abscess. This can also cause the infection to spread and damage blood vessels.

When left untreated, abscesses can burst, leading to further dental and oral complications

Highly recommend. Knocked out old front tooth composite and given the difficulties of Covid-19 they were excellent – saw me as soon as was possible, really friendly team and the new composite looks great. – James P – Sutton
