Draining an Abscess Under the Jaw or Tongue

Florida rates for HCPCS 42310

An incision is made inside the mouth to open and drain a pocket of pus in the salivary gland area beneath the jaw or under the tongue. Letting the pus out relieves the swelling and pain and allows antibiotics to work on what remains. Because the opening is made inside the mouth, there is no scar on the face or neck.
