The prognosis helps to resolve a small tooth abscess once it has ruptured or drained. If the symptoms are improving, the infection is less likely to get worse. Large abscesses require immediate medical care and usually require drainage and antibiotics. In order to re-evaluate the infection and care for the teeth, proper follow-up care must be performed with the dentist.
Care may include tooth extraction or root canal treatment.
Gums that extend into the mouth or neck may threaten people's respiratory and respiratory abilities and may be life-threatening unless they are properly discharged.
