Injury Behind Upper Teeth, Abscesses. Done Diagnostic Tests. What Does Treatment Involve?
Hi, My son who is 13 now apparently had an injury behind his upper front teeth a couple of months ago that I somehow stayed unaware. Now the injury has changed into a small mass or abscess with size of a Molar which has made it difficult for the kid to eat. I took him to a local dentist yesterday and he advised that I should take my son to the hospital where he will remove the mass after performing some diagnostic tests. Could you kindly advise me as how to go about the treatment of the kid and if there is any danger of cancer? Thank you.

Injury Behind Upper Teeth, Abscesses. Done Diagnostic Tests. What Does Treatment Involve?
Hello, Thanks for writing to us . The abscess formed below the injured tooth may be due to- infection involving pulp or p e ri apical area. I would advice you to get an x-ray of the injured tooth. Tooth has to be either root canal treated or extracted depending on severity of infection. Analgesics along with antibiotics has to be administered to relieve infection underlying. Hope this helps.
