How We Clear the Infection
Prompt Appointments for Urgent Infections
Seen Quickly
An abscess is an active infection and won’t resolve by waiting. We make room for patients with these symptoms as early as we can, often the day they call.
Later-in-the-Day Slots
Infections flare up whenever they like. If you need a visit after 5pm, let us know and we’ll try to accommodate you.
Saturday and Sunday Care
You shouldn’t have to endure a swollen, aching jaw all weekend. Weekend appointments are open for urgent cases.
Why You Shouldn’t Delay Treatment
1
The Infection Can Travel
An abscess won’t heal by itself. Left alone, the infection can move into the jaw, the neck, and in serious cases the bloodstream.
2
Relief Often Comes Quickly
Draining the abscess and treating its cause usually eases the pain noticeably, often soon after the visit.
3
Your Health Is at Stake
In rare cases, an untreated dental infection becomes a life-threatening emergency. Early treatment keeps that risk low.
4
A Better Chance to Keep Your Tooth
Treating an abscess early improves the odds that a root canal can save the tooth instead of removing it.

Dental Abscess FAQs for Manor Patients
Is an abscess a medical emergency?
It can turn into one. If you have swelling in your face, trouble breathing or swallowing, a high fever, or swelling that moves toward your eye or neck, go to an emergency room right away and call our office as well.
Will it go away on its own?
No. An abscess is a bacterial infection that needs treatment. It may feel better for a while if it drains by itself, but the infection is still there and can come back.
Will I need antibiotics?
Not always. Draining the abscess and treating the source is often enough. Antibiotics are usually added when the infection has spread past the immediate area.
Is treatment painful?
We numb the area before any procedure, so treatment itself shouldn’t hurt. Most patients feel much better once the infection is drained and treated.
How much does treatment cost?
It depends on the care you need. Draining the abscess and placing a filling costs less than a root canal or extraction. We offer a guaranteed payment plan to keep urgent care within reach.
