An abscessed tooth is a serious dental emergency caused by a bacterial infection. This is not something to delay.
An untreated abscess can spread infection to the jaw, sinuses, or bloodstream.
At Meadows Dental Care, abscessed tooth treatment focuses on stopping infection fast while protecting your overall health.
Book emergency dental care today if you’re experiencing pain, swelling, trauma, or signs of infection.
Swelling or a pimple-like bump on your gums? Start with tooth infection treatment in Austin — many abscessed teeth are saved with root canal treatment the same week.
No. Antibiotics may calm the infection temporarily, but the source — infected pulp inside the tooth — remains. Without a root canal or extraction, the abscess returns and can spread to the jaw, face, or bloodstream.
First we drain the infection and relieve pressure — that's where the fast pain relief comes from. Then we treat the source, usually with root canal therapy to save the tooth, or extraction when it can't be saved.
Tell us a little about what you need — we'll be in touch shortly.
