Suffering from a dental abscess?
Confidental is a family focused dental Practice offering an emergency dental service. If you have any form of dental emergency, please contact us, we'll be pleased to help. We also offer a full range of Private dental treatments.
Abscesses are infections that occur around the root of a tooth or in the space between the teeth and gums. Abscesses are a serious condition that can damage tissue and surrounding teeth, with the infection possibly spreading to other parts of the body if left untreated. Because of the serious oral health and general health problems that can result from an abscess, please contact us as soon as possible if you discover a pimple-like swelling on your gum that usually is painful.
In the meantime, to ease the pain and draw the pus toward the surface, try rinsing your mouth with a mild salt water solution (1/2 teaspoon of table salt in 8 ounces of water) several times a day. Contact us as soon as possible.
