Abscessed tooth .top front tooth.?
Answer:
NUPRIN! myself and others i have recommended it too look iin disbelief when i saw -- it works. i had a chef who didn't believe me and took tylenol. when that didn't help - he came and said - fine i'll try it. i had him take 2 (you can take up to 4 as it would be 800 miligrams) and within the 20-30 minutes i told him to alot before taking the third - he called me and was floored!! he then bought a bottle. it also saw me through an abscess that i had to wiat two weeks to get fixed!
Might sound stupid..but, get a bottle of water, open it up..and suck on the top - something about it helps.
Take Advil or Motrin. You can also try cold compresses. Don't do hot.
As a dentist I HIGHLY recommend that you stay away from using heat, this can cause the bacterial infection to worsen and spread to other areas of the body via the bloodstream. You will need to be placed on antibiotics to kill the infection in your tooth/gums and your dentist will probably prescribe you some type of pain medication. If the pain is severe you may want to consider calling to get an emergency appointment or take a trip to your local ER as an abscess is a very serious problem that can be fatal if left untreated. Try taking Motrin (Ibuprofen) for pain, this will also help with inflammation. Also do use the cold compresses, they will help numb the area and reduce any swelling and rinse your mouth several times a day with warm salty water or a mixture of 50/50 Hydrogen Peroxide and water. Good luck and I hope you are feeling better soon!
