A gum abscess is a painful pocket of infection filled with pus that forms in the gum tissue. At London Dental Specialists, we treat gum abscesses through professional drainage, which involves making a small incision to release the trapped pus, followed by cleaning the area and potentially prescribing antibiotics. This procedure is typically performed under local anaesthetic to ensure patient comfort and is essential to prevent the infection from spreading to other areas of the mouth or body.
While natural drainage may temporarily relieve pain, it does not mean the infection is resolved. Even if an abscess ruptures and drains on its own, you still need professional dental treatment at London Dental Specialists. Without proper treatment, the infection can spread to your jaw and other areas of your head and neck, potentially leading to more serious complications. Always seek professional dental care for a gum abscess, regardless of whether it appears to be draining.
After professional gum abscess drainage at London Dental Specialists, you may notice improvement within a few days. However, complete healing typically takes several weeks. With proper aftercare, regular follow-up appointments, and completion of any prescribed antibiotics, most patients experience a full recovery without complications. Your dentist will provide specific timeline expectations based on the severity of your abscess.
Yes, a gum abscess is considered a dental emergency that requires prompt treatment. If you experience symptoms such as severe throbbing pain, swelling, fever, difficulty swallowing, or loose teeth, contact London Dental Specialists immediately for emergency care. Untreated abscesses can lead to serious complications including the spread of infection to other parts of the body, potentially resulting in conditions like sepsis.
Following gum abscess drainage at London Dental Specialists, proper aftercare is essential for healing. This typically includes:
While waiting for your appointment at London Dental Specialists, you can temporarily manage gum abscess pain with over-the-counter pain relievers like paracetamol (following package instructions), gentle saltwater rinses (1/2 teaspoon salt in warm water) every 2-3 hours, and avoiding very hot, cold, or spicy foods. However, these measures only provide temporary relief and are not substitutes for professional treatment, which should be sought as soon as possible.
Gum abscesses are typically caused by bacterial infections resulting from poor oral hygiene, gum disease, food particles trapped between teeth and gums, or dental injuries. To prevent gum abscesses, London Dental Specialists recommends:
Many patients require antibiotics after gum abscess drainage at London Dental Specialists, particularly for larger or more severe infections. Antibiotics help eliminate remaining bacteria and prevent the infection from returning or spreading. It's crucial to complete the entire course of antibiotics exactly as prescribed, even if symptoms improve before finishing the medication. Your dentist will determine whether antibiotics are necessary based on the specific characteristics of your infection.
The cost of gum abscess drainage at London Dental Specialists varies depending on the severity of the infection, whether additional treatments are required, and your specific dental plan. We provide transparent pricing during your consultation. Many dental insurance plans cover abscess drainage as it's considered a necessary treatment for infection. Please contact our office directly for the most current pricing information and to discuss payment options available to you.
