A dental abscess needs treatment of its source
Swollen gums and a throbbing tooth can indicate an infection. Root-related and periodontal abscesses need different treatment. At MasterDent in Pozniaky, the dentist examines the area and determines which investigations are needed before selecting treatment.
Drainage can relieve pressure but does not complete care. Root canal treatment, periodontal treatment or extraction may be necessary depending on the tooth. Antibiotics are prescribed when indicated and do not replace treatment of the source.

Frequently asked questions
Can antibiotics alone cure an abscess?
They do not remove the dental source. Drainage or definitive dental treatment may be needed; antibiotics are prescribed only when indicated.
Does every swelling need an incision?
No. The cause and location must be assessed before choosing treatment.
Does drainage hurt?
The dentist selects and checks local anesthesia. Inflamed tissues may need additional pain control; report discomfort during treatment.
Can I heat my cheek?
Do not heat or puncture the swelling yourself. Arrange a dental assessment.
When is emergency medical care necessary?
Difficulty breathing or swallowing, swelling near the eye or rapidly spreading swelling requires emergency medical assessment.
Must the tooth be removed?
Not always. The dentist assesses the tooth, roots and supporting tissues before explaining the available options.
What if the swelling drains by itself?
Reduced pressure does not mean that infection has resolved. The source still needs assessment and treatment.
What does drainage cost include?
The price list contains separate drainage procedures. Investigations, anesthesia and definitive treatment are agreed for your situation.
