AB  - Patients  frequently  present  to  the  Emergency  Department  complaining  of  a  “toothache.”  There  are  multiple  common  causes  of  toothache  pain  and  similarly  multiple  etiologies  for  a  dental  abscess  (Table  210-1).1  Distinguishing  the  type  of  dental  abscess  can  have  an  impact  on  the  treatment  decisions,  prognosis,  and  patient  morbidity.2-5  Accurate  diagnosis  and  proper  treatment  of  these  maladies  requires  that  the  Emergency  Physician  have  a  basic  understanding  of  dental  anatomy,  pathophysiology,  and  simple  dental  treatment  protocols.  There  are  many  complications  of  odontogenic  infections  (Table  210-2).6-8  Many  of  these  conditions  can  be  managed  initially  though  the  Emergency  Department.  The  prudent  Emergency  Physician  must  have  a  clear  understanding  that  these  infections  can  rapidly  become  complicated  requiring  timely  consultation  or  referral.
