GUM PROBLEMS
Gum Infections and Gums Abscess
Wake up swollen or with pus oozing from your gums?
Make it Infection Abscess STOP!
If you have a tooth abscess, the first thing to do is see a dentist to treat the infection. Treating the infection also typically relieves the pain. Depending on the size and type of infection, you may need antibiotics and/or a specialized cleaning around the tooth or root canal therapy inside the tooth to properly remove the source of the infection. If the infection has damaged too much bone, it may also be necessary to perform additional services: graft new bone, remove more bone to make the area cleansable, or even remove the tooth in the area of the infection in order for the bone to heal properly.
This kind of gum abscess is treatable in our office in San Antonio, TX.
