Abscess: A full course of antibiotics is the first step in controlling a severe dental infection, an abscess. Root Canal/Crown or Extraction/Implant/Crown are the usual follow-up treatment scenarios. If you have questions about your specific treatment please call your treating Dentist for clarification.
