Abscess

A tooth abscess is formed when the pus gets collected in the tooth. It may result from bacterial infection, tooth decay, chipped, or broken teeth. When the tooth gets infected, due to the accumulation of the pus inside the tooth, the person experiences swelling and pain. Since a dental abscess does not heal by itself, the individual needs to visit a dentist and seek medical treatment.

If a dental abscess is left untreated, the infection will spread into other parts of your body and cause severe health issues. Also, the dental abscess causes severe pain, and the patient cannot eat properly. Even if the pain is not much, the patient must see the dentist as soon as possible to prevent further complications such as tooth falling off and infection moving to other parts of the body.

So, if you are suffering from an abscessed tooth and experiencing severe pain, swelling, fever, etc., please visit Franklin Bright Smiles. We offer several services to treat all types of dental conditions.
