What is dental infection drainage?
Dental infection drainage is a clinical procedure performed to remove abscesses or collections of pus caused by infections in the teeth, gums or jawbone.
This treatment is essential to relieve pain, stop the spread of infection and protect the patient’s overall oral health.
How is the drainage of a dental infection performed?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia to ensure that the patient feels no pain during the intervention and broad-spectrum antibiotic coverage.
If vital signs are affected, the procedure should be performed in an in-hospital environment.
In some cases, endodontics (root canal treatment) may be necessary if the source of the infection is inside the tooth, or even tooth extraction if the affected tooth cannot be saved.

When is a dental infection drainage needed?
Drainage of dental infections is recommended in cases of:
– Dental abscesses: Accumulations of pus that form in the root of an infected tooth
due to advanced caries or trauma, and that spread to the surrounding tissues
.
– Periodontal infections: Severe gum infections that can
lead to the formation of pus pockets.
– Periapical infections: Infection affecting the root end of a tooth,
usually as a result of deep caries or tooth fracture, also called acute apical periodontitis.
– Facial cellulitis: Infection that spreads from a tooth to the soft tissues
of the face or neck, requiring immediate intervention.
