Tooth abscess in Valleyfield
A swollen cheek, a throbbing tooth, a bad taste in your mouth: in Valleyfield, an abscess is treated the day you call at our Monseigneur-Langlois Boulevard clinic, seven days a week, for patients from Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, Beauharnois, Saint-Timothée and Coteau-du-Lac.
The dentist drains the abscess to relieve the pain, then explains whether the tooth can be saved with a root canal or should be extracted, with a written estimate for each option.
Why choose the Go Dentiste Valleyfield clinic for your tooth abscess
The Valleyfield clinic keeps emergency slots every day and has the equipment to drain, start a root canal or extract the tooth at the same visit. Several dentists share the schedule, which makes same-day care possible even on weekends.
How your tooth abscess works in Valleyfield
At the emergency visit, an X-ray locates the infection, the area is anesthetized and the abscess is drained. The dentist then opens the tooth to begin the root canal or extracts it, prescribes antibiotics if the infection is spreading, and schedules the follow-up.
| Time to treatment | Same day, 7 days a week |
| Anesthesia | Local |
| Relief | Usually immediate after drainage |
When to see us
- Severe, throbbing pain that may radiate to the ear, jaw or neck
- Swelling of the gum, cheek or face
- A pimple-like bump on the gum that may leak pus with a bad taste
