Call Dentist ASAP: This needs to be treated at once. Without treatment the infection can continue to spread and cause more problems.

See your dentist: The only way to cure a dental abscess is with dental treatment. The dentist will treat a tooth abscess by draining it and getting rid of the infection. See a dentist ASAP. See your dentist for re-evaluation and dental treatment. Good luck.
