What Are Incision and Drainage?
When Are Incision and Drainage Necessary?
-
AbscessesThese are pockets of pus that form when the body’s immune system fights off infection. They can occur anywhere on the body, but are especially common in the mouth and gums. Symptoms may include pain, swelling, and redness.
-
BoilsThese are similar to abscesses and are caused by bacterial infections of the hair follicles. They can be quite painful.
-
Infected Paranasal SinusesThese are sinuses located in the bones surrounding the nose that can become infected due to allergies, colds, or other factors. Symptoms may include facial pain, headache, and fever.
Our Incision and Drainage Procedure
At Milestone Dentistry and Facial Aesthetics, our highly trained oral surgeons and dentists will perform the incision and drainage procedure in a sterile and comfortable environment. After applying local anesthesia to the affected area, they will make a small incision to release the pus or pressure. Once the pressure is relieved, the area will be cleaned and dressed with sterile bandages.
