An abcess is infection. You have to see the dentist for a prescription of antibiotics. Next step is to find what is causing the abcess and treat it so it doesn't keep getting abcessed. Always consult your dentist for the best advice concerning your dental health.

Yes for these teeth you have prob. learned to late.  You can't floss every couple of days, it has to be everyday.  If you don't want more decay and rotten teeth, then floss everyday. You need to have these teeth extracted, abscessed teeth are nothing to play with, you can get seriously ill, or even die if you don't have them taken care of.  You need to learn to brush consistently and the right way.  You are not brushing as well on the lower because you are afraid of hitting the decayed teeth. You have to use a soft toothbrush and use small circular strokes with very little pressure.  You have used too much pressure on the lower, which has caused the recession.  I would suggest an electric toothbrush.  Flossing:  go in between each tooth wrap one side of the tooth like a "C" shape and wiggle up and down a few times and then do this to the other tooth in front, going all of the way around the mouth.  Again you don't have to use a lot of pressure, you don't want to injure or cut the gum tissue.  Decay is caused by bacteria and food debris which turns into acid, this causes decay.  Gingivitis and periodontitis are gum conditions.  The problem is you, you have to do the work in order to have a healthy mouth.  I know this is blunt, but you have to wake up and brush as much as possible, floss everyday, and see a dentist about your problem teeth.  Educate yourself on home care and about tooth decay and gum disease.  Use your search engine for help.

nip to the chemist and get some Oil Of Clove and some cotton buds. Rub some on the gum and tooth with the cotton bud. Then try not to touch it for a while. Some uber strength pain killers before hand will help you get through. I have managed two days like this before. Good luck mate.

I used to freeze fruit juice and then rub it on my gums after my app. sometimes it would help with the swelling too. if you don't want that, just buy some popsicles. enjoy and i feel your pain and hope all is well with you!

Citrus seed extract works wonders for getting rid of fungi and bacteria internally. It tastes awful, but it does help.\n\nYou could also do a Candida cleanse.

Don't put Neosporin in your mouth, it could be toxic to the stomach. If not could make you real ill. If you do happen to attempt this stunt and anything happens please call the poison control center. My advice would be this:\n\nTry sea salt soaks, and peroxide. I would hold off on Listerine because it has alcohol in it and might irritate it further. Salt should help bring the abscess out and take alot of the soreness away. The IB profin should keep it from getting really inflamed. Also if you can bear it, take a handful or a nice big pinch of salt, and put it directly on the sore! Leave it there for as long as you can stand it, then rinse with salt water or peroxide. (just careful not to swallow) It will most deff. bring the abscess in your mouth out quicker than if you just let it heal, it will probably take about a week or two to heal fully. If the abscess breaks be careful not to swallow any of the infection because it will make you sick and dizzy. Rinse well and maybe place a cotton swab over it (Depending on how bad it is) to keep the infection from running down your throat and you digesting some. GL with this, I've had abscessed teeth before, and it's no fun. You really need to see a Dentist if possible, but if this is out of the question...try the soaks and stuff and continue with the antibiotics and IB profin for pain. You'll get better soon, and if not seek medical attention ASAP! Best wishes

If you have a problem with your tooth, it can very easily manifest itself as a headache, especially behind/around your eyes.  You should call the dentist and have the date moved up/closer so you can get it taken care of immediately.  A person should only be on antibiotics for 7 to 14 days.  After that, the bacteria become resistant to the medication, and this could very well be what has happened.  The bacteria that caused the abscess have most likely become resistant and are now migrating to other parts of you body.  Have the date moved closer, and also have your dentist put you on a more potent antibiotic.

Rinse your toothache away. Take a mouthful of water (at body temperature) and rinse vigorously, says Dr. Taintor. If your toothache is caused by trapped food, a thorough rinse may dislodge the problem.\n\nFloss gently. If swishing doesn't work, you can try to pry the popcorn hulls or tiny bits of meat out from between your teeth by flossing, says Dr. Taintor. Be gentle! Your gums are likely to be sore.\n\nTake a "shot" to numb the pain. Hold a swig of whiskey over the painful tooth, says Dr. Corn. Your gums will absorb some of the alcohol and that will numb the pain. Spit out the rest.\n\nRinse with salty water. After each meal and at bedtime, stir 1 teaspoon of salt into an 8-ounce glass of water (again, at body temperature), says Dr. Corn. Hold each mouthful, roll it around your mouth. Spit.\n\nTry a hand massage. When you have an achy tooth, this can ease the pain by 50 percent. Rub an ice cube into the V-shaped area where the bones of the thumb and forefinger meet. Gently push the ice over the area for 5 to 7 minutes.\n\nIn a study, Ronald Melzack, Ph.D., a Canadian researcher and past president of the International Association for the Study of Pain, found ice massage eased toothaches in 60 to 90 percent of the people who tried it. His research shows this procedure works by sending rubbing impulses along the nerve pathways that the toothache pain would normally travel on. Since the pathways can carry only one signal at a time, rubbing outweighs the pain.\n\nOil up with oil of cloves. People have been using this over-the-counter remedy for many years, says Richard Shepard, D.D.S., a retired dentist in Durango, Colorado. Most drugstores carry tiny bottles of the oil. Drop a little directly onto the tooth, or dab a little on a cotton ball and pack the elixir next to the ache.\n\nDon't bite. If the toothache is caused by a blow to the tooth, try not to use that area when you eat, says Dr. Corn. If nothing is damaged, rest for the tooth may restore its vitality.\n\nSuck on some ice. Treat the problem like any good bruise. Use ice, says Dr. Corn. Put ice on the aching tooth or the nearest cheek for 15-minute intervals at least three or four times a day.\n\nKeep your mouth shut. If cold air moving past the tooth is a problem, just shut off the flow, says Roger P. Levin, D.D.S., president of the Baltimore Academy of General Dentistry and a guest lecturer for the University of Maryland.\n\nOr keep your mouth open. Some toothaches happen when a person's bite isn't quite right. In that case, says Dr. Levin, avoid shutting your mouth as much as possible until the dentist can take a look.\n\nSwallow your aspirin. Don't believe that old-time remedy calling for placing an aspirin directly on the aching gum. This can cause an aspirin burn, says Dr. Taintor. For pain relief, take an aspirin every 4 to 6 hours as required.\n\nStay cool. Keep heat away from your aching cheek even if it makes the toothache feel better, warns Dr. Corn. "If it is an infection, the heat will draw the infection to the outside of the jaw and make the infection worse."

It's basicly a pocket of trapped infection. As the infection grows within the pocket, it swells and can be very painful.  If the abscess continues to progress, skin, bone and other tissues can be injured or destroyed. \n\nAn abscess can resolve with or without antibiotics, but may require surgical intervention to drain  and clean the pocket of infection. This  removal of the abscess contents can speed recovery, prevent or limit damage, and greatly releave pain.  In extreeme cases, additonal intervention could be required to repair damage caused by the abscess.

Same thing happened to me. Sometimes it is still infected even though the dentist took it all out, The anti-biotics didn't work since the bacteria had adapted to it. He gave me much stronger stuff which was working since swelling in face was going down.\n\nBut the anti-biotic was giving me bad headaches and I never get headaches so I stopped. I spent $100 to talk to a natural health expert on the phone. He is 70 and healthier than most 40 year olds. He told me to fast, drinking only water, and I did. It was totally gone in 3 days. It worked like magic. Fasting creates ketones, the most powerful appetite supressant. Site below has info on fasting with quotes by 8 MDs. Eating feeds the infection.\n\nThis also works with  dental work near the root and then, 6 months later, the root is dying and gets infection. But with fasting it stops the dying and infection.

Good heavens! get another dentist! The one you have enjoys your pain far too much. the tooth is abscessing...you should be on antibiotics NOW. and an infected, abscessed tooth should NOT be messed with until the infection is done away with!

Baking soda is a great remedy for bad breath, because it changes the pH in your mouth and makes it a less friendly environment for many bacteria.\n\nTry the baking soda solution. You can add extra punch to your Water Pik by using a baking soda solution to clean your teeth. You can brush on baking soda with a toothbrush and then rinse with water or use your Water Pik,  What I really recommend is mixing baking soda with warm water, pouring that solution into the Water Pik and using it to irrigate your teeth and mouth.\n\nBrush your tongue. Perhaps the most overlooked way of eliminating bad breath is to brush the top surface of the tongue when you brush your teeth. Although there are many causes of bad breath, usually the odor arises from the surface of the tongue. That's because the tongue is covered with microscopic, hairlike projections that trap and harbor plaque and food.  A daily, gentle brushing (including the top of your tongue) unlodges these odorous particles.\n\nOr give it a wipe. Don't have a toothbrush handy? Not to worry. Simply take a hanky or a piece of gauze and give your tongue a good wiping. Even a quick wipe is good for removing the coating on your tongue that can cause bad breath.\n\nJust about any type of mouthwash will temporarily mask the odors of bad breath--usually for about 20 minutes. But to eliminate the foul smell choose a mouthwash that contains zinc. Zinc has a tendency to do a lot of things to inhibit the production of sulfur compounds that cause bad breath. Zinc mouthwashes don't taste as metallic as copper-containing oral products.

First of all, TAKE THE LOCAL ANESTHETIC!!! Second, you'll want to rinse your mouth out with a saline solution for about 48 hours post-"op". Put 1/4 teaspoon salt in 4 oz. warm water and swish your mouth out at least twice a day for two days. (Note: You don't have to use all 4 oz.--this is just the proper dilution ratio) This will help your gums to heal up a little faster and will help reduce any swelling that may occur. Also, take some Ibuprofen. This is a great pain reliever as well as an anti-pyuretic. (reduces swelling) Tylenol doesn't reduce any swelling.

Take ibuprofen/nurofen its an anti inflammitory, its the swollen gum around the tooth thats causing pain. Hot salt water mouth rinse in the area will help also. (Boil water, add half teaspoon salt, wait to cool then swill hard in area) may be sore but will help, do this every couple of hours to keep area really clean. Salt is a natural antiseptic.\nWould get a dental appt just to check if they may need to be removed. Try this though it will help. xxx

Your dentist will need to take an x-ray of it.  Sometimes when there is an abscess there is a pustule on the gum near the abcessed tooth.
