What Is a Dental Abscess?

A dental abscess is a localized pocket of pus caused by a bacterial infection. It often develops due to untreated tooth decay, gum disease, or dental trauma. These abscesses can form at the root of a tooth, in the gums, or in the spaces between teeth and gums. While your body tries to contain the infection, a dental abscess will not heal on its own and can become dangerous without professional treatment.

Common Causes of Dental Abscesses

  • Severe tooth decay
  • Gum infections or advanced periodontal disease
  • Cracked, broken, or injured teeth
  • Food or debris trapped in gum pockets

Symptoms to Watch For

Identifying the symptoms of a dental abscess early is crucial to avoid serious complications. Contact Vacaville Dental Group immediately if you experience any of the following signs:
  • Swelling in the gums, jaw, or face
  • Persistent throbbing or sharp tooth pain
  • Sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures or pressure
  • Fever or chills
  • Bad taste in the mouth or pus drainage
  • Swollen lymph nodes or general fatigue
  • Difficulty opening your mouth, swallowing, or breathing (seek emergency care immediately if these occur)
If you notice any of these symptoms, don't hesitate—call us right away for urgent evaluation and treatment.

Our Emergency Dental Abscess Treatment

At Vacaville Dental Group, we prioritize accurate diagnosis and effective treatment for dental abscesses to provide fast relief and prevent further complications:
  • Precise Diagnosis: Using advanced digital X-rays and thorough clinical exams, we pinpoint the abscess location and severity to design the most effective treatment plan
  • Pain and Infection Management: To ease discomfort and control infection, we may drain the abscess to reduce swelling and pressure. Antibiotics are prescribed to stop the infection from spreading
  • Root Canal or Extraction: If the infection has reached the tooth's pulp, a root canal may be necessary to save the tooth. In severe cases, extraction might be required to protect your health and eliminate the source of infection

Don’t Let Your Dental Benefits Go to Waste: Use Them Before Year-End

If you have dental insurance, chances are you're paying for benefits that are designed to help keep your smile healthy. Unfortunately, many patients don't realize that these benefits often reset at the end of the plan year — meaning any unused coverage is lost. At Vacaville Dental Group, we want to make sure you get the most out of the plan you're already paying for by scheduling your preventive care and necessary treatments before your benefits expire.
