Our Treatment Process
Fast Appointments for Infections
Prioritized Infection Visits
An abscess is an active infection and won’t resolve by waiting. Patients with signs of one are moved to the front for same-day appointments.
Late Appointments Available
Infections don’t care what time it is. If you can only come after 5 PM, let us know and we’ll try to make it work.
Care on Your Days Off
Weekend appointments are available so you aren’t stuck enduring an abscess until Monday.
The Risks of Waiting
1
The Infection Can Travel
An abscess won’t heal itself. Left alone, it can move into the jaw, neck, or, in serious cases, the bloodstream, and may even affect neighboring teeth.
2
Pain Eases Quickly After Treatment
Once the abscess is drained and the source is handled, most people feel major relief, often within a day.
3
Your General Health Is on the Line
Although rare, an untreated dental infection can become a life-threatening emergency. Timely care keeps that risk low.
4
A Tooth You Can Still Save
Treating an abscess early improves the chance of keeping the tooth with a root canal rather than losing it.

Dental Abscess FAQs
When does an abscess become a medical emergency?
Seek emergency medical care right away, and call us as well, if you have facial swelling, trouble breathing or swallowing, a high fever, or swelling that is moving toward your eye or neck.
Will an abscess clear up by itself?
No. It’s a bacterial infection that needs treatment. It may feel better for a while if it drains on its own, but the infection is still there.
Do I always need antibiotics?
Not always. Draining the abscess and treating its source is often enough. Antibiotics are generally used when the infection has spread past the immediate area.
Is treatment painful?
The area is numbed before any procedure, so treatment itself shouldn’t hurt. Many patients feel a great deal of relief once the infection is addressed.
What does treatment cost?
That depends on the care required. Draining and a filling cost less than a root canal or extraction. Our guaranteed payment plan helps keep urgent care affordable.
