Dental Abscess
Dental Abscess Treatment West Ryde
Dental abscess is an oral health problem that can become a medical emergency when the infection reaches the pulp of the tooth or affects the gums and jaw. Once this happens, you may experience unbearable and intense pain inside your mouth.
In rare cases, if an abscess in your mouth is left untreated, it can pose a greater risk to your dental and overall wellbeing. Dental abscess requires treatment before the infection can affect your body.
