what CPT® procedure code we can use for dental abscess I&D?

re: Need CPT® code for I&D of dental abscess

Example of dental codes:
D7510 Incision and drainage of abscess- intraoral soft tissue;
D7511 Incision and drainage of abscess- intraoral soft tissue - complicated
(includes drainage of multiple fascial spaces);
D7520 Incision and drainage of abscess- extraoral soft tissue;
D7521 Incision and drainage of abscess- extraoral soft tissue - complicated
(includes drainage of multiple fascial spaces);
These four codes are used when the incision and drainage is a distinct surgical procedure from extraction and/or surgical extractions.
There are other codes to use (depending on circumstances, Example:CPT: 41005 Intraoral incision and drainage of abscess, cyst, or hematoma of tongue or floor of mouth; sublingual, superficial;
41006 Intraoral incision and drainage of abscess, cyst, or hematoma of tongue or floor of mouth; sublingual, deep, supramylohyoid;
41007 Intraoral incision and drainage of abscess, cyst, or hematoma of tongue or floor of mouth; submental space;
The ICD-9 codes will establish medical necessity for one or the other.

the presence of a diagnostic code, the incision and drainage codes or any procedure code, does not guarantee payment for these services. It is crucial for the OMS practitioner and his/her staff to understand the intricacies of reimbursement for incision and drainage with extractions by each carrier, managed care organization or Medicare.

Thanks for your suggestions, but one for my colleague suggested CPT® and ICD-3 codes
41800: Drainage of Gum Lesion
24.0: Incision of Gum/Alveolar Bone

are these codes more specific?
