What is left after my tooth abscess busts?!


Question: What is left after my tooth abscess busts?
I had an abscess in my gum around my front tooth,it became extremely painful so I went to my dentist and he gave me some antibiotics and painkillers. After a few days a large lump formed on my gum and it busted yesterday and some of the infection came out, but there's still a small hard bump on my gum an I know its not my tooth... What could this be?
I can't afford to go back to the dentist seeing as I've spent nearly $500 in the last 2 month going to have fillings

Answers:

the pus is drained but infection is still in the bone.
you haveto get treatment done otherwise the lump will again come.
the hard lump now left is the bone swelling which will start to decrease with proper treatment.



YOU need to go back to your dentist so he could properly clean out the abscess!!!
