Hummingbird Dental is a full-service dental clinic that have emergency dentist Richmond Hill to patients across the Greater Toronto Area. At our dentist office, we care for patients experiencing regular dental emergencies, such as face swelling, injuries to the teeth/mouth and dental pain. Face swelling, in particular, is quite common. It is often caused by a tooth infection. In most cases, the swelling starts off as barely noticeable, escalates to mild discomfort and gradually builds up to painful swelling.

Depending on the severity of the case, we may carry out the follow up treatment on the same day or a couple of days after draining the tooth abscess. If you have a periapical abscess, you may need an extraction or a root canal to save and restore the damaged part of the tooth where the nerve endings are located. The dentist will remove the dead pulpal tissue from the hole drilled in the tooth after the pus escapes and fill the remaining space with a tooth filling.

In case the abscess formed in the gum (periodontal abscess) after draining, the dentist will clean the pocket formed by the abscess and smooth out the root surfaces of the tooth so the pocket closes up and disappears. If the infection recurs, you may need oral surgery to reshape the gum tissue and prevent future infection.
