Most people think of oral surgery as something you plan for — wisdom teeth, implants, or fixing a bad bite. But what if I told you that a silent infection in your mouth could be putting your life at risk right now — and you may not even feel it?

At Central Park Oral Surgery in NYC, we've treated countless patients who came in with minor tooth discomfort, only to discover dangerous abscesses, jaw infections, or cysts that were spreading below the surface. These aren’t just dental problems — they’re serious medical emergencies waiting to happen.

A dental abscess can spread to your bloodstream, brain, or lungs. And it can happen fast, especially if left untreated. Symptoms can be subtle:

• Mild tooth pain

• Swelling, you brush off

• Persistent bad taste or breath

• Difficulty chewing

Too often, patients ignore these signs until they land in the ER — sometimes while traveling, where immediate care isn't accessible or reliable.

This is why early detection and intervention are critical. Our oral surgery team offers in-depth evaluations using advanced imaging, so we can catch and treat hidden infections before they turn catastrophic. We provide emergency procedures, including surgical drainage, extractions, and jaw treatments — all in a safe, comfortable setting right in the heart of NYC.

Your mouth is connected to your entire body. Please don’t ignore it.
