Get relief from your dental abscess today
Dental abscesses are serious infections that can cause significant pain. The infection occurs when pus forms inside a tooth. A dental abscess is an excessive build-up of pus that forms in different areas of the teeth. A pus pocket can form inside the teeth, in the bone supporting the teeth, or in the gums. It’s usually caused by tooth decay or a chipped or broken tooth.
See your dentist as soon as possible if you suspect you may have a dental abscess. This condition won’t go away on its own. If left untreated, further damage could be done to the tooth and surrounding tissues. In some cases, the severe infection could spread throughout your body if you don’t seek treatment, leading to a life-threatening infection.

What Causes a
Dental Abscess?
At Darch Dental Centre, our experienced dentists will assist you with any discomfort you may be experiencing and provide you with a treatment plan that is specific to the issue that caused your abscess. An infection can occur due to anything that allows bacteria to enter the tooth or surrounding tissues, such as:
- Tooth Decay:
Tooth decay occurs when sugar in food and drink is broken down by bacteria, which creates acid that attacks the enamel. If the decay isn’t taken care of, it will eventually get into the pulp of the tooth and become infected. - Dental injury:
If a tooth is broken, chipped, or cracked, bacteria can seep into the opening. The infection can spread to the pulp and result in an abscess. - Prior dental work:
An abscess is often caused by the death of a nerve in the root of a tooth. This may occur following dental procedures such as placing a deep dental filling. - Gum disease:
Gum disease is an inflammation and infection of the gum tissue. The bacteria can begin to reach deeper tissues as the infection progresses, and may sometimes cause abscess.
