Dental Abscess Treatment in Braeswood, Houston, TX
A Tooth Abscess Won’t Heal Alone: Get the Infection Treated Now
Could You Have an Abscess?
An abscess often grows quietly before it announces itself. Look out for pain that pulses deep in the tooth and feels worse than an ordinary toothache, a small bump on the gum that looks like a pimple, puffiness in the cheek, face, or jaw, a bad taste or odor that lingers, or a fever that arrives with the tooth pain. Because it’s a live infection, waiting only gives it more time to spread.
We can confirm it and begin treatment the same day. Reserve your $89 evaluation at our Braeswood office to get started.
How an Abscess Develops
An abscess forms when bacteria become trapped and infection takes hold. The usual routes include:
- Decay that was never treated and has reached the inner pulp
- A crack that gave bacteria a way inside the tooth
- Gum disease that has formed a pocket of infection
- An earlier injury or fracture to the tooth
- A filling or crown that has failed or leaks
- Advanced periodontal disease
- A wisdom tooth that is only partly through and trapping debris
- A weakened immune system that lets a minor infection take hold
