Skin-Level Drainage Of A Floor-Of-Mouth Infection

Maryland rates for HCPCS 41015

This procedure drains an abscess or infection from the space beneath the tongue, in the floor of the mouth, by making an incision through the skin on the outside of the face or neck rather than working from inside the mouth. It relieves pressure and removes infected fluid that has collected in this area, which can result from a dental or oral infection that has spread. The wound is typically left open or lightly packed to continue draining as it heals.
