Do You Have a Tooth Abscess?
If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, you need to be seen today — not in three weeks.
Severe, Throbbing Pain
Intense pain that radiates to your jaw, ear, or neck — often worse when lying down.
Swelling in Face or Jaw
Visible puffiness around your cheek, jaw, or under your chin that won't go down.
Fever & Chills
Your body fighting an infection it can't contain on its own.
Foul Taste or Smell
A sudden salty, bitter taste often means the abscess is draining — still needs immediate treatment.
Extreme Tooth Sensitivity
Sharp pain when biting, chewing, or even touching the tooth — a hallmark sign of abscess.
Swollen, Red Gums
Tender, inflamed gum tissue around the affected tooth — may have a visible pimple-like bump.
This Won't Heal Itself.
⚠️ An Abscess Can Turn Life-Threatening
A dental abscess is a bacterial infection. Left untreated, it doesn't stay in your tooth. The infection can spread to your jawbone, throat, and neck — and in serious cases, into your bloodstream (sepsis). People die from untreated dental abscesses every year. If your face is swelling or you have a fever alongside tooth pain, this is urgent care.
Bone loss in the jaw from spreading infection
Ludwig's Angina — life-threatening throat swelling
Sepsis — infection entering the bloodstream
Brain abscess in rare, untreated cases
How We Treat Your Abscess
No runaround. No referrals. Fast, effective emergency care the same day you call.
Same-Day Evaluation & Digital X-Ray
We assess the severity, locate the infection source, and determine the fastest path to pain relief — no waiting days for a diagnosis.
Drain the Infection & Relieve the Pain
We numb you completely, then drain the abscess to release pressure. Most patients feel dramatically better before they leave the chair.
Antibiotics & Prescription Pain Relief
We prescribe the right antibiotic to eliminate the infection and, when needed, pain management to keep you comfortable during recovery.
Root Canal or Extraction — Same Day
Depending on the tooth, we perform a root canal to save it or a same-day extraction if needed. No sending you to a specialist weeks from now.

Abscess FAQs
Straight answers — no fluff.
No. A dental abscess will not resolve without treatment. The infection may appear to "calm down" temporarily, but the bacteria remain and will continue to spread. The longer you wait, the more damage is done to bone and surrounding tissue — and the higher the risk of serious complications.
Antibiotics reduce the infection but do not eliminate the source. Without draining the abscess and treating the tooth — through root canal or extraction — the infection will return. Antibiotics are part of the treatment, not the whole treatment.
We have same-day availability most days. Call us at (425) 864-7600 or book online right now. We are open 9AM–8PM, seven days a week. If you have severe pain or facial swelling, call us directly so we can prioritize your appointment.
We work with most major dental insurance plans and offer financing options through Cherry, CareCredit, and Proceed Finance for patients without coverage. We discuss payment before treatment — no surprises. Don't let cost be the reason you delay care for an abscess.
Yes — all dental abscesses require prompt treatment. If you have facial swelling, fever, or difficulty swallowing or breathing, go to the ER immediately and contact us as well. For pain without those symptoms, call or book with us today for same-day care.
We numb you completely before any treatment begins. Draining an abscess relieves pressure immediately — most patients feel dramatically better during the procedure itself. If you feel anything sharp at any point, tell us and we add more anesthetic. You should leave feeling far better than when you walked in.
