Your mom is absolutely correct. That is why you are on anti-biotics. Much less risk of spreading the infection and the fact that you cannot numb an abscess makes it extremley painful to work on.



hello, i have had an abcess too do not worry when the dentists gets rid of the abcess, it will not hurt you at all.
you will not die from a tooth abcess just do not pop it, because it will make you poorly. But do not worry about it you will be fine and the abcess will not kill you x



I recently had this problem... It can be dangerous but doubtful you'll die.. U may need to get the tooth extracted .. My life is so much better now that the tooth is gone... Definitely get it checked.. Tooth pain is no joke.. Hopefully that helps.. And definitely don't remedy the problem yourself... Leave that to the dentist or oral surgeon

As long as you`ve taken the antibiotics , if a tooth needs to come out, it will be a relief.

Trust the dentist.



you should go to doctors immediately.
