Yes, or Urgent Care: Please get seen today at either an Urgent Care or ER. You have a serious infection that will not get better without treatment.

Abscess: A dental abscess is a virulent infection requiring IMMEDIATE treatment. Antibiotics can limit spread of infection, but not cure it. And infection will come roaring back when pills run out. Antibiotics can be prescribed by ER, Urgent Care, General Physician, or Dentist. But only General Dentist or Dental Specialist can both prescribe antibiotics and eliminate the source of the infection.

ASAP: This infection is spreading rapidly and should have been treated a long time ago. Although rare, spread can cause death. Please be treated at once.
