Abscess Tooth Gainesville GA

An abscess tooth occurs when tooth decay or gum disease causes an infection deep within the tooth or gum.  This condition can be very painful and if it is not treated properly, you can lose the tooth or possibly suffer further health issues.  Some of the symptoms of an abscess tooth are a salty taste in your mouth, fever, swelling, a throbbing sensation or a bump on the inside of your cheek or tongue.  If the infection spreads, your jaw bone could begin to dissolve.  If you experience any of these symptoms, you should call your dentist immediately.  Bennett Family Dentistry is one of the leading dental practices in North Georgia.  We offer a full range of general and specialty dental services.  Please contact us if you would like to talk to a professional about your abscess tooth.
