Emergency Dentistry

A tooth infection (often called a dental abscess) happens when bacteria get inside the tooth or the surrounding gum tissue and create a pocket of pus. While that sounds alarming (and it can be), understanding what’s going on is the first step toward getting relief and protecting your overall health.

Accidents happen, and knocking out a tooth can be a frightening experience. Whether from a sports injury, fall, or other trauma, acting quickly can significantly improve the chances of saving the tooth.
