In most cases, the infected tooth will need to be extracted. Your dentist will start by anesthetizing the area and then loosen the tooth before removing it. Once the tooth is removed, your dentist may pack a dental implant or a temporary filling in its place and may prescribe antibiotics to prevent any infection from spreading.

To remove an infected tooth, your dentist will need to perform a surgical procedure. First, the tooth will be numbed with anesthetic. Then, the dentist will cut into the gum to reach the infected tooth. The tooth will then be extracted and stitches may be used to close up the gums. The area may require additional treatment such as antibiotics or a root canal to treat any infection.
