Experienced Dentists for Dental Emergencies in Barrie
An abscessed or infected tooth tends to be more sensitive to hot and cold substances. Increased sensitivity and pain when eating are also very common with an abscessed tooth. If you’re experiencing any of these issues, it’s best to schedule a thorough examination at Molson Park Dental Office. Note that a tooth infection can also cause nausea, fever, and a general sense of discomfort. When paired with other symptoms of teeth infection, such symptoms may force one to seek emergency dental care services in Barrie. Be sure to contact Molson Park Dental Office for such services.
It is essential to mention that tooth infections may not always be painful. If you experience any of the following symptoms, contact Molson Park Dental Office immediately.
- Swollen jaw
- Red or swollen gum tissue
- An open sore (painful) on the inside of your gums
- Persistent bad breath even after brushing
- Bitter taste in your mouth
- A swollen lymph node
Several treatment options are available for you to consider. Some may require the expertise of an orthodontist, while others, like flossing or brushing in a gentle manner, do not.

Talk to us, and we will identify the most comfortable and effective option for you.
Testing Infected or Abscessed Tooth
The abscessed or infected tooth should be treated with a root canal procedure. This dental procedure allows our team of oral health professionals to remove the infected tissue and debris from the inner side of your tooth, preventing the need for tooth extraction. This procedure can be completed within a single session, or you may need to make multiple visits to our dental facility in case the infection has spread widely within the tooth.
The treatment for an abscessed tooth is no more invasive than just a usual dental filling procedure. But some patients may be uncomfortable with such processes. In case you feel pain or are simply uncomfortable with the idea of root canal therapy, our dentists will be glad to discuss various mild sedation options. This can help you feel relaxed and probably at ease throughout the entire root canal procedure.
Keep in mind that an abscessed tooth is simply a tooth surrounded by a small pocket of pus that is usually caused by a bacterial infection or other injuries. If not treated on time, an abscess can result in severe complications such as fistula, Ludwig angina, osteomyelitis, and more. If you suspect your tooth is infected, it is essential that you consult with an experienced Barrie dentist and schedule a consultation session. Our dentists from Molson Park Dental Office welcome patients living throughout Barrie in the central Ontario region for reliable dental services.
