🚨 Severe Dental Infection Alert! 🚨 A patient came in today with swelling on the left side of her face and into her nose. After two rounds of antibiotics with little relief, we discovered the cause using a cone beam ct scan: a massive abscess from a dead tooth that has eroded through the floor of her nose. Root canal? Not an option—this tooth is calcified, and the damage is too extensive. Besides, root canals lead to infection and we definitely don't want that. The solution? Extract the tooth and plan for a ceramic implant to restore her smile and health. Dental infections are no joke—always address them promptly! My hope is that you can keep your mouth so healthy you rarely have to visit us! 🦷
