Frequently Asked Questions
Can a dental abscess be dangerous?
Yes — untreated dental infections can spread to the jaw, head, neck, or even bloodstream. That's why we prioritize abscess patients. Seek care the same day if possible.
Can I fly with a dental abscess?
It's not recommended to fly with an untreated abscess — pressure changes can worsen pain. Get treatment first, then fly once antibiotics have started working (usually 24-48 hours).
How long does treatment take?
Initial emergency treatment (drainage + antibiotics) takes about 30-60 minutes. The underlying cause (root canal or extraction) may require a follow-up visit.
