What Should You Do if You Have a Dental Abscess?

If you suspect you have a dental abscess, it’s important to seek professional care as soon as possible. In the meantime, rinse your mouth with warm saltwater to help reduce pain and inflammation. Over-the-counter pain relievers can provide temporary relief, but a dentist or healthcare provider will need to drain the abscess and possibly prescribe antibiotics to clear the infection.
