Sometimes a dentist has to become a dermatologist in a manner is speaking.
Today our patient came to us complaining of pain and tenderness in their upper left gum line.
On further examination we realized the problem was a large abscess that was beginning to swell in their mouth!
Luckily the procedure to treat this was quick, easy and painless.
All it took was a small incision in the middle of the abscess, along with some gentle pressure and everything came spilling out!
