Root Canal Therapy

If you have a tooth abscess, it can be extremely painful or in some circumstances, it might not hurt at all. Whether you have pain or not, though, it’s important to seek treatment for a tooth abscess immediately. 

This is because not getting the treatment you need for a tooth abscess can have serious consequences. An untreated tooth abscess that does not drain into the mouth could spread internally to surrounding tissues and, in severe cases, it can spread to the rest of the body and affect vital organs such as the heart. This can cause symptoms such as fever and nausea, and if it is not treated, extreme cases may lead to hospitalization or even result in death. 

Diagnosing and treating a tooth abscess early can help to prevent further complications.
