The Signs of a Dental Abscess


There are a number of signs to watch for when it comes to a dental abscess, you want to ensure that you call our office as soon as you notice any signs because this is an infection.

We can make sure you obtain the best treatment possible. Antibiotics are very important to get for any patient experiencing this type of issue, as well as to try to save the affected tooth.
