What Are Infected Teeth?
An infected tooth occurs when bacteria penetrate deep into the tooth, usually through a cavity, crack, or trauma, and reach the inner pulp. This can cause severe pain, swelling, and sensitivity. If untreated, the infection may spread to surrounding teeth, gums, and even the jawbone.

What to Expect
When you come to Brightly Dental for an infected tooth, our team will begin with a thorough exam and digital imaging to locate the infection. Depending on its severity, treatment may involve antibiotics, draining the infection, or performing a root canal to remove infected tissue. In some cases, extraction may be necessary to fully resolve the problem. Throughout the process, we focus on making you comfortable and protecting your health.
