Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor forum, thank you writing to us, I would like to inform you that when there is a case of abscessed tooth, the first thing dentist does is Chat Doctor. A dentist cannot really tell how infected a tooth is until he takes an x-ray of the tooth. In cases where infection spreads to the surrounding tissues needs to be operated soon, and I hope your son is in good hands now. I wish your son good health, thank you, take care
