Dr. Farid Hakimzadeh of Fresh Meadows Dental Care hopes that patients never endure a dental abscess, but if they do, it’s best to be informed so that you can seek treatment immediately. A dental abscess is an infection of the mouth that begins as a tooth infection but has the ability to spread to the rest of the oral cavity. A dental abscess can form from a deep cavity, a pocket in the gum caused by periodontal disease, trauma, or a previous dental appointment. Whatever the cause, we can help get the problem under control.
An abscess is a pocket of pus that in this case would appear around the tooth. Dental abscesses have no age limit and can occur in pediatric patients as well as the elderly. If you have a dental abscess, it’s important to know that it will not go away on its own. If you notice gums that are swollen, tender, or causing you pain when you chew, seek treatment immediately to prevent the abscess from getting worse.
