About Tooth Infections
An infection can cause minor discomfort, a throbbing sensation, or raging pain in a tooth and the surrounding gum tissue. A tooth may be infected if you experience swelling, pain, redness, and temperature sensitivity. Severe infections can cause a fever and can be dangerous to your overall health if not treated quickly. Tooth infections are caused by a number of factors, including cracked teeth and untreated tooth decay.
A tooth infection will not go away on its own, so it’s important to visit our dental office to receive treatment for the underlying cause. If you have an abscessed tooth, contact our office immediately for professional dental care. The longer you wait, the more pain you’ll be in. Plus, you’ll increase the likelihood of needing root canal treatment.
Treating an Infected Tooth
There are a few ways to approach tooth infection treatment, and what we recommend will depend on the severity of your particular situation. Sometimes, we are able to treat an infection with antibiotics and a root canal. Other times, more extensive treatment may be needed.
If an infection has caused a lot of damage, we may need to remove the tooth entirely. Early treatment is the best way to avoid the need for tooth extraction, and our dental team will do everything possible to make sure your needs are addressed as fast as we can.
Our number one goal is always to relieve your pain, followed by saving the tooth if we are able. Most times, we can provide treatment that will enable you to keep the tooth. A crown is often a good solution once we’ve completed root canal therapy. A crown helps support the tooth and protects it from future abscesses and infection.

What Our Patients Are Saying
Read what our clients have said about what left them smiling whenever they leave our office!
I had an infected tooth from a botched root canal over a year ago. A friend recommended them to me. They got me in same day and immediately hooked me up with an amazing Endodontic specialist. The office is nice, the people are nice and professional and I felt very well cared for!
I've been going to Dr. Baker for several years now, and it's a great experience every time. We've been through cleanings, fillings, Invisalign and even extractions together. I trust he and his staff have my best interests in mind with recommending services. And when I'm not entirely on top of flossing regularly, he has a fun, friendly, and effective way of giving me grief about it. The toughest part about going in for regular cleanings is not being able to participate in the conversation because my mouth is propped open. But even then, I still regularly schedule three a year instead of two. I'd recommend Dr. Baker to anyone, young or old, male or female, big or small.
This is the best dental office! Appointments are easy to schedule, the team is friendly and on time. The care is top notch. Everything is done quickly and efficiently. I'm delighted to have found this office.
Dr. Baker and team are amazing. I have been going here for 20 years and they take great care of me.
I have been a patient of Dr. Baker and the hygienist Piper for a few years now. I am always pleasantly surprised with their personal attention to me and their readiness to respond to any of my concerns or requests. The office is always very vibrant and produces a very good feeling. The overall atmosphere starting with the front desk people is very welcoming. It might sound surprising but I always look forward to my next visit - an absolutely unusual feeling for me. Thank you very much and keep up good work.
