What is Abscess Drainage?

A dental abscess is a pus-filled pocket caused by bacterial infection, often resulting from untreated cavities, gum disease, or trauma. Abscess drainage is a dental procedure that removes the infected material, alleviates pressure, and helps the area heal.

How It Works:

The dentist examines the abscess and determines the best drainage approach.
A small incision is made to drain the pus and eliminate infection.
In some cases, a root canal or antibiotics may be required for complete healing.
