How does the dentist treat an abcessed tooth?
Dentists treat an abscessed tooth by draining the pus, which requires oral surgery or root canal treatment. Antibiotics help eliminate the infection, but removing the diseased pulp and draining the pus are more important. ChaCha!

About Dentist
Dentists diagnose and treat problems with teeth and tissues in the mouth. They also give advice and administer care to help prevent the patient from having future problems. They provide instruction on diet, brushing, flossing, the use of fluorides, and other aspects of dental care. They remove tooth decay, fill cavities, examine x-rays, place protective plastic sealants on children's teeth, straighten teeth, and repair fractured teeth. They also perform corrective surgery on gums and supporting bones to treat gum diseases. Dentists extract teeth and make models and measurements for dentures to replace missing teeth. They also administer anesthetics and write prescriptions for antibiotics and other medications.
