Can you get an abscess in a spot where a tooth has already been removed?
My husband has swelling and pain on the right side of his face and earlier today had bleeding from his gums where he had a tooth removed over five years ago. He described it as kind of "bursting" open and bleeding. What can be done about it without seeing a Dr. (no insurance/cash).
Abscess without a tooth?
I'm sorry, but you will need to be seen by your dentist. This could be something as simple as a root fragment working it's way out, a particle of food that became embedded in the tissue and is infected, or it could be something serious. Don't wait, in the meantime take 400-600mg of Motrin or Advil for discomfort, rinse with really warm salt water several times a day, also avoid brushing too hard over this area but do keep it clean.
Reply:to be honest, he needs to see a doc. that kind of crape can kill a person. call a dentes and see if they know some that can help you, some time they work with groups, that help people with out insurance. hope this helps, and good luck
