Treatment

Tooth Abscess

Prompt, same day treatment for dental infection. Call (603) 487-2106.

A tooth abscess is a pocket of infection at the root of a tooth that requires prompt treatment.

Dr. Mejia examines and X-rays the tooth to confirm the abscess, then addresses the infection at its source through drainage, root canal therapy, antibiotics where appropriate, or in some cases extraction.

Untreated abscesses can spread infection to the jaw and beyond. Treatment relieves pain and protects your overall health.
