These are things that worked for me while I was in pain 1.warm saltwater 2. Ibuprofen (sometimes) 3. Orajel and other numbing ointments 4. Ice 5. Do not lay down flat sleep with your head elevated 6. Gargle the infected area with hydrogen peroxide as this will help with popping by the abscess after the tooth abscess has popped you will fill INSTANT RELIEF However none of these are permanent solutions you need antibiotics like amoxicillin and you must have the tooth pulled or a root canal or some form of dental work done if you are reading this and are in pain I wish you the best I know how much it hurts

In my home country, teeth are not so much a hassle as they are a luxury for rich people. Evidently, the ability to chew your own food is a luxury or a privilege and not a right or something to be expected. It certainly is a privilege in this country to Simply have your pain alleviated, particularly if the source is your teeth, although that certainly is not exclusive to dental work. By the way, I don't live in war-torn Ukraine or anything like that, I don't live in a country where people do not regularly have accessed indoor plumbing, I live in the United States of America the capital G greatest country in the UNIVERSE. USA! USA! USA! USA! If you'll excuse me, I'm off to have my morning cup of covefe now! Y'all have a nice day, and my apologies for any grammatical errors in this comment! It is a little-known fact that here in the states, our native tongue is actually just groveling directed in the general direction of Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos, and we also commit to a pilgrimage to the Silicon Valley at least once in our lifetimes! I hope I've been Rich to you all with some of my home country's culture 🤩 ( on a completely unrelated note, does anybody know if it's a thing for dentist to do pro bono work like a public defender or something? No particular reason that I'm asking, and I absolutely have all four of my back molars in mint condition; none of them fell out or crumbled or anything; they certainly also did not break off at the gum line. Also a sidebar, I've now tried two different phones and if you're talking about gums like the sort you get gingivitis in, your voice-to-text feature will absolutely not ever, certainly not one hundred percent of the time, mishear you as saying guns like the kind you get the fire in discriminately if you are a law enforcement officer of some sort!)

I've had 4 infected teeth for almost 1 year. It's excruciating pain day and night with nothing that can be done. I have Insurance but out of the thousands of dentists that are in my state only 56 will accept my insurance. I have called every last one and only one will even schedule me. It's been almost a year but thankfully it's only 10 more days. I'm praying they actually do something about them instead of setting me another appt up for months in the future. I've already had to go to er a couple times and they told me the infection was likely spreaded... we all don't have thousands of dollars to spare for these events and without cash or good insurance your up a creek.

One word...BENADRYL. You may be sleepy for a few hours after you take it, but it WILL get rid of the swelling, pain, and infection. The pus from the infection is nothing more than poisonous mucus. The benadryl is made to help sinuses (a lot of it is controlling mucus). It worked for me within 20 minutes. Knocked the pain out QUICK, took down the swelling, and after 2-3 days passed, the abcess was still gone.

Thank, you I read your comment on Sunday and immediately took one tablet and you were right , it worked.
I had a really bad one and it started to get so bad my whole right side of my face was swollen & it was going to reach my eye & the pain was getting to the point I couldn't take it so I finally got to the hospital but they never want to do anything about dental so I told them either take a needle & suction it out or I will so they finally did and everything went away the next day like it never happened. People think bad teeth are strictly bad heigene but its so much more than that. It can be but it's also genetics, auto immune diseases, hereditary issues, being sick, etc..and once they are damaged it only gets worse. My teeth I didn't know were even bad till they would break. They looked like they rotted from the inside out..I also had many baby teeth all through my adult life & only two wisdom that came way later. I had hereditary gum disease so it appeared they were rotting inside out but it was at the gum line & below. Also my baby teeth were being crushed by my adult teeth leaving no room to clean, allowing cold dark places for bad bacteria to grow. I also have many auto immune diseases & hereditary issues. When I was 24 i had work done on my teeth, they were perfect and I ended up pregnant and had a rare disorder and became very ill the entire 9 months and my teeth were absolutely destroyed. I now have a mouth that looks like a bomb went off. I cant eat anything close to hard, I have to be careful of brushing (whats left) & of abscesses & sepsis but its also incredibly surprising because as far as what is left (i dont have the money to see a dentist) my gums literally just grow over and heal whats left. It can be painful at times but I think I may be so used to the pain over the years that its normal now. Now I'd need surgery on my jaw to remove all the pieces/roots . I think the thing im worried the most about is sepsis & not having any teeth at all as vain as that sounds... I mean it plays a huge roll in how the world treats you...jobs, friends, family, etc.. anyways i have talked way to long, thanks to anyone who stuck around.

I agree with that all my teeth cause me problems and they need to surgically remove
Once a tooth is giving u problems extract it to avoid future pain. Idc how much a dentist says it can be saved. Once d filling comes bk out you’d be in a pain again. Extract tooth
I use a few things. A mix of peroxide and water is a good place to start. The peroxide turns the infection to a thick foam in your mouth and can reduce the pressure and pain and can help to clear it. Also Epson salts mixed with mater as a rinse/soak can also be good and draws out infection as well. You can literally fell the fluid from your gums mixing with the salt and water. After that a good brushing with baking soda followed by a rinse of apple cider vinegar.

My dad is in icu from a abscess - the infection cut his airway off and he has had the tooth removed last week in the icu / he has has 2 more surgeries to drain the infection - last night they had to do the surgery in his neck as the infection spread down into his neck . He is intubated and sedated right now . This has been a life changing experience for my family . He is 83 years old and has always taken great care of his teeth. . He went to ER OVER A WEEK AGO THINKING IT WAS HEART FAILURE - his tongue immediately swelled up so big he couldn’t breathe . I’m so worried about him .

What's the difference between a abscess tooth that needs a root canal and one that needs to be pulled? I had an abscessed tooth that was infected at the root. One dentist wanted to do a root canal another dentist said that the tooth was dead and needed to be pulled. I had the tooth pulled but the root look brand-new like it was alive.

I have tooth abscess and a long time ago I think the abscess used to be bigger but got smaller and less painfull over time and it used to swell a lot but not anymore. The thing is I never did anything about it and it got better over time. Now, it’s not getting worse or better. It’s stayed the same for at least 5 months or more. What should I do? Matter of fact, I don’t know even know if it’s tooth abscess. All I do know is that I feel a little bump near my jaw area 🤔
