šØ Severe Dental Infection Alert šØ
A patient came in with swelling on the left side of her face that extended into her nose. After two rounds of antibiotics with little improvement, our cone beam CT scan revealed the real cause ā a massive abscess from a dead tooth that had eroded through the floor of her nose.
A root canal wasnāt an option ā the tooth was calcified, the damage was extensive, and root canals can lead to ongoing infection. The best solution? Remove the tooth and replace it with a healthy ceramic implant to restore her smile and protect her health.
Dental infections are serious and can spread quickly ā always address them right away! Our goal is to help you keep your mouth so healthy that you rarely need urgent visits like this. šš¦·
