abscess

Avatar f tn I have an abscess tooth and I have a dental pick and I've been trying to keep the infection under control I recently pulled out something orange and stringy this is concerning to me anybody know what it may be
Avatar n tn I just had a tooth pulled 5 days ago and i cant be on pain meds becuz i am pregnant. But my dentist pulled my tooth while I had an absist next to it. Was that right? The pain is still the same as if I didnt get the tooth pulled. But I am really concerned because I dont know what the socket is supposed to look like if it is healing properly. I have had a white spot in the socket for a couple of day.
Avatar n tn I was in the EXACT same position yesterday that you were and the dentist pulled my abscessed tooth. The dentist WILL pull the tooth if it is an emergency situation so you dont have to be completely rid of the infection for them to pull it. The reason they dont is because it takes a LOT to get you numbed up on local anesthetic before they do pull it. The most painful part for me was when they numbed me up and drained the abscess.
1629677 tn?1299655604 I had a wisdom tooth pulled and the night I had it pulled my cheeck was the size of a tennis ball, I went to the ER 3 days later and they said I had an abscess, im on antibiotics and I want to know if that will take the swelling away and if thats all I have to do or will I have to get it drained?
Avatar f tn I have a painful abscess tooth leading to tooth aches! I need to see a dentist but until then what can i do to soothe the pain for now?
Avatar f tn they only thing to get rid of the abscess is to take antibiotics to get rid of the infection and after baby is born they may have to do a root canal or pull tooth all together. mine had to be pulled out. but definitely get it checked out i was told by my dentist that it can get bad enough and get into your blood stream...
Avatar f tn my cat is 18 yrs old, he needs an abcessed tooth pulled .can it be done with out anesthesia, and what are some herbs and natural remedies to clear the infected area after the tooth is romoved?
Avatar n tn A tooth abscess is usually a complication of tooth decay. In a dental abscess, or tooth abscess there is accumulation of pus inside the teeth or gums. The abscess usually originates from a bacterial infection and is mostly caused by a dental infection. The common presenting complaints are severe toothache, breath odour, fever, pain when chewing, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling of gums, swollen glands etc.
Avatar n tn I'm so glad you took him to the vet! I'd probably just have the tooth pulled so you won't have to worry about it again. No doubt the abscess is pretty painful for your dog too. Very ouchy, tooth abscesses. I've had a couple myself and wonder if I should have just had the stupid things pulled instead of putting myself through root canal, crown and 10 years later the whole works just breaks off anyway. LOL! We had a dog who lost part of a back tooth.
6397765 tn?1380934651 How difficult was the extraction? It may take some time to completely heal but the pulse pain should be getting better at least. I'm assuming once the tooth was removed, the majority of pain/symptoms were gone?
Avatar n tn Do you think this is a definite sign of a tooth abscess due to the trauma of the crown? When I called about the appointment, they were already talking about the possibility of being referred to an endodontist for a potential root canal. Is this my only option? Can I not just kill off the infection with antibiotics? I broke the bank on the crown (no dental insurance), and I simply cannot afford another expensive procedure.
Avatar f tn t enter my bloodstream until the tooth was pulled. Please Help!!!! This site has truly been a blessing to me. God Bless all! .
Avatar m tn I had a back tooth pulled (third from molar) about 3 weeks ago. now my check is swelling and I can hear a noise occasionally in my ear. could this be dry socket? I did have a root canal done 4 months ago, still had pain, so the tooth was extracted.
Avatar n tn i posted before. i had an abscessed tooth and the abscess spread into my cheek. my dentist put me on keflex but after 10 days there was still noticable swelling in my cheek. so now the dentist has put me on a stronger antibiotic. when i woke up this morning i felt a very large "bubble" on my inside cheek.
Avatar f tn Im wondering if its all combi ed can i have an infection in my nose that caused the bubble above my bad tooth thats causeing me all this pain or could the tooth have given me an infection which inturn infected my nose and swallowing puts whatever it is in my stomache. And hurting me am i gonna die from it can a tooth infection cause a brain anuisume.
Avatar f tn I had a tooth filled 2 weeks ago and a lot of throbbing of my nerver has been going on by that tooth. Going on into the 3rd week, I woke up and noticed my face on the side the tooth was pulled is swollen. What is wrong and how can I resolve this problem?
Avatar f tn I have a swollen area on my gums above a tooth that needs to be pulled. The pain isn't hardly there as far as the tooth but when I push on my cheek, I feel the swelling like a bump and it is like it is at the top of my gums. Any idea what this is? Could it be an absess or an infection maybe? Any help is appreciated. Thank you very much!
Avatar f tn I have been thru the ropes! I was suffering from severe head pain up to my temple back in beginning of January. The pain was so much worse when bending over, picking something up, and movement. It would really hurt to kiss my daughter goodnight b/c i'd lean over! I went to ER and had CAT scan and spinal tap done at that time (rule out anyerism). I also had a full sinus scan done b/c i was on antibiotics for Sinus infection at the time (family doc thought head pain was due to sinuses).
Avatar n tn ve never had a tooth extraction while having abscessing going on, and she said it was fine. Tooth was pulled and was sent home with an Rx of Clindamycin (150mg), 4xday. Infection got worse. Dentist, then used a lazer to open and drain the infected area. Several shots (7-8) of novacaine was needed to numb the area. After procedure, my mouth hurt and burned the worst that I've ever experienced before. The infection is still there.
Avatar m tn By 8/12 I was still in a lot of pain and returned only to have the tooth next to it (eye tooth ?) pulled claiming there was an abscess below a previous root canal. It's now 8/25 and I'm still having almost the same amount of pain on that side, and the one remaining molar (in the back) really hurts if I tap on it (sharp pain). Is it possible to still have pain from the earlier procedures? I don't have ins.
Avatar n tn I was wondering, do you think if I got my tooth pulled all this would go away? what else could this be, except for my tooth, and what exactly do you think is causing it from what I describe?
Avatar m tn e had one partial tooth pulled where the dentist thought the toothache was coming from and the toothache came back a couple days later so I went back to the dentist and he found a dead tooth next to where he pulled the partial with no sign of abscess but said it might be to small to see so he pulled that one. Now another toothache has arrived two days latter on my bottom set of teeth right below where the original toothache started on my top set of teeth.
Avatar n tn I know a lot of TN patients go through the whole tooth / dentist ordeals, so I thought I might just ask the following ... I am getting facial pain on the right side of my face. Ear, nose, throat, jaw and eye. Its been going on for about 5 months now. I have a cracked tooth, at the back of my mouth on the side where I have the pain. If I press down on the tooth, then it hurts a little bit .. although it doesn't start my 'real' pain up.
Avatar n tn IS THIS AN ABSCESS TOOTH OR IS THIS FLUID FROM MY EAR. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY AFTER TWO ROUNDS OF ANITBOTICS IF THIS IS AN ABSCESS IT HASN'T WENT DOWN.
