Incision and drainage with penrose drain placement 📌 

These procedures are often required for infections from decayed teeth This is what happens as a result from neglecting oral hygiene and a lack of professional dental care 👨‍⚕️An incision is made in the vestibule near the offending tooth, the pus is drained and irrigated with saline. The drain is then secured with a silk stitch, allowing the site to continually drain for several days. A course of antibiotics and extracting to tooth is ultimately required for definitive treatment 👌👏
