What is a Tooth Abscess?

We understand the discomfort and potential complications that can arise from a tooth abscess. As a parent, it's crucial to address this dental emergency promptly. Our dental practice specializes in pediatric dentistry and offers timely and effective treatment for tooth abscesses. Let's explore what a tooth abscess is and how we can assist you and your child.


A tooth abscess is a dental infection that occurs when bacteria invade the tooth's pulp, leading to the formation of pus and a pocket of infection. It usually arises from untreated tooth decay, a cracked tooth, or trauma to the tooth. A tooth abscess can cause severe pain, swelling, and redness in the affected area, and if left untreated, it can lead to serious complications. Prompt treatment is essential to alleviate pain, eliminate the infection, and preserve your child's oral health.
