What Is an Abscessed Tooth?

A dental abscess is a pocket of pus caused by a bacterial infection, usually forming at the root of a tooth or between the tooth and gum. It’s a serious condition that can spread if not treated quickly.

Symptoms of an Abscessed Tooth

Common signs include:

  • Severe, throbbing toothache

  • Swelling in your face or gums

  • Fever

  • Bad breath or a foul taste

  • Pain when chewing or biting

  • Sensitivity to hot or cold

  • A visible pimple-like bump on your gums

If you notice any of these symptoms, seek dental care immediately.

What Causes a Tooth Abscess?

Tooth abscesses usually occur due to:

  • Untreated cavities

  • Gum disease

  • Cracked or chipped teeth

  • Failed dental work

Bacteria enter the tooth or gum through these openings and cause infection.

How We Treat Abscessed Teeth

At Rapha Dental, we tailor treatment to your case. Depending on severity, we may recommend:

  • Root canal therapy to remove the infection and preserve the tooth

  • Emergency tooth extraction if the tooth cannot be saved

  • Antibiotics to stop the infection from spreading

Our team uses digital X-rays, nitrous sedation, and modern tools to keep you comfortable and pain-free.

Don’t Ignore the Warning Signs

Left untreated, an abscess can lead to:

  • Tooth loss

  • Spread of infection to the jaw, neck, or even the bloodstream

  • Emergency hospitalization

We’re here to help before it gets that serious.
