Prevention plays an important role in maintaining good dental health. Daily brushing and flossing, as well as regular dental examinations, can prevent tooth decay and tooth abscesses. Anyone with frequent dental abscesses needs to be evaluated by a healthcare professional to determine if there is a potential medical condition. Remember that once an abscess occurs, there is no home remedy, so prevention is the best approach.
Remember to brush your teeth and floss after every meal and sleep.
If tooth decay is detected early and treated in time, tooth decay that may develop into an abscess can often be corrected.
The use of smoking (chewing and smoking) can also help.
