(I have bad teeth in my family, my father had an abcess
tooth not too long ago, though I
do brush every day). I will not have proper coverage for atleast another week. Can you tell me if you think it is an abcessed tooth? I'm worried! Also, if I have the tooth extracted, is there anything I can do, like a large cap or something to alow the normal use of the extracted tooth? I don't want a huge gaping hole in my lower jaw! Thanks.
