Frequently Asked Questions

Is dental swelling dangerous?

Yes. Facial or dental swelling can indicate a spreading infection, which can become a serious medical emergency if untreated. Call us immediately at 786-600-0494.

Can antibiotics cure a dental abscess?

Antibiotics control the infection but don't eliminate the cause. The abscess must be drained and the cause (decay, infected pulp) must be treated. Antibiotics alone are not enough.

What should I do if I have facial swelling?

Call us immediately. Apply a cold compress, not heat. Do not try to drain the abscess yourself. If you have difficulty breathing or swallowing, go to the emergency room.
