DENTAL ABSCESS & INFECTION IN AIRDRIE
A dental abscess is one of the most serious dental emergencies. It occurs when bacteria cause an infection that leads to a pocket of pus in the tooth or gums. Abscesses do not heal on their own and can become dangerous or even life-threatening if the infection spreads to the jaw, face, or bloodstream.
