Expert opinion from Dr. Himabindu SreenivasuluMBBS · 1 years of experience · India
Repairing a dental abscess typically involves a combination of professional dental treatment and self-care measures. It's essential to seek prompt dental care to address the infection and prevent further complications. The dentist will likely perform a root canal procedure or an incision and drainage to remove the pus and infected tissue from the abscess. They may also prescribe antibiotics to control the infection. In some cases, extraction of the affected tooth may be necessary. To aid in recovery, follow the dentist's instructions, maintain good oral hygiene, and take any prescribed medications as directed. Regular dental check-ups are essential to prevent future abscesses and maintain oral health.
