One of the most common reasons you may need to visit an emergency dentist in Frisco TX is the sudden development of a dental abscess. Dental abscesses start out as a tooth infection--perhaps just a deep cavity- but the infection can quickly spread to the mouth, face, jaw or throat. Hesitating to get dental care for a gum infection or cavity can cause serious trouble. Regular dental checkups are important, since signs of infection may go unnoticed at first. A professional cleaning and exam at Accent Dental in Frisco, TX will keep your teeth and mouth healthy.
Abscesses signify the need for emergency dentists in Frisco TX because they mean bacteria is spreading and infection is moving deeper into the tooth, gums, jaw or facial bones. A dental abscess is usually painful, but not always. Symptoms include pain, swelling and redness. Pus collects where there is infection as a result of the immune system trying to keep the infection at bay. If left untreated too long, a dental abscess can cause septicemia. This means the infection has spread to the bloodstream, which could travel to the brain--a life-threatening emergency. If swelling has made it difficult to breathe, you feel sick to your stomach or you have a fever, you are definitely facing an emergency and need to be treated by emergency dentists in Frisco TX.
Dr. Nelson Wu at Accent Dental offers expert emergency dental services in Frisco TX. Seeking treatment quickly is important to avoid an emergency department visit. The doctor may need to perform an x-ray to diagnose your abscess. For treatment, you may need the abscess drained and/or a course of oral antibiotics. The prognosis of a small drained dental abscess is usually very good. Even if you start feeling better, treatment needs to eliminate the primary source of infection to keep the abscess from returning. The treatments proposed at Accent Dental will offer you long term solutions.
The staff at Accent Dental in Frisco, TX will let you know how to care for the abscess at home, and how to prevent it from coming back. Follow our instructions carefully and be sure to attend any recommended follow-up appointments for the best results.
