Common questions
Can an abscess go away on its own?+
No. It may temporarily feel better if it drains, but the infection remains and can spread.
Is an abscess an emergency?+
Yes. Facial swelling, fever, or trouble swallowing are urgent — come in immediately or go to the ER.
Will I need a root canal?+
Often yes, unless the tooth needs to be extracted. We save teeth whenever possible.
