Hi Guest!

D7510 – incision and drainage of abscess – intraoral soft tissue
Here are some coding options for you below:
40800 - Drainage of abscess, cyst, hematoma, vestibule of mouth; simple
40801 - Drainage of abscess, cyst, hematoma, vestibule of mouth; complicated
41800 - Drainage of abscess, cyst, hematoma from dentoalveolar structures

As for the ICD10 code(s), here are some options based on what you described:

K12.2 - Cellulitis and abscess of mouth
K04.6 - Periapical abscess with sinus
K04.7 - Periapical abscess without sinus


Hope this helps!
