🦷 WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU HAVE A DENTAL ABSCESS? 🤕

😇A dental abscess is a serious infection that causes severe pain, swollen gums, and can even affect your overall health if left untreated. If you or someone you know is experiencing a dental abscess, follow these steps:

👉 1. See a dentist immediately
💕 A dental abscess will not heal on its own and requires professional treatment. Your dentist may need to drain the abscess, perform a root canal, or extract the tooth in severe cases.
👉 2. Manage the pain at home
🥰Rinse your mouth with warm salt water to help reduce swelling and cleanse the infection.
😍Take Ibuprofen or Paracetamol as directed for pain relief.
🥶Avoid chewing on the affected side to prevent worsening the infection.
👉 3. Do not attempt to drain the abscess yourself
✨ Popping or draining the abscess at home can spread the infection and lead to serious complications like sepsis.
👉 4. Maintain good oral hygiene
🦷 Brush your teeth twice a day, use dental floss, and limit sugary foods to prevent cavities – the most common cause of a dental abscess.

💡 At Lumière, we strongly recommend seeing a dentist as soon as you notice symptoms like severe tooth pain, swelling, or pus to ensure proper treatment!
