Absessed Tooth?
Answer:
he won't pull it out while its absessed you have to take antibiotics until the absess goes away also if the cheek swelling is real bad he might put in tubes to drain your cheeks (that's what they did for me)
I seriously doubt if he/she will pull it if it is abcessed. You will most likely be put on antibiotics for a week or ten days to rid your body of infection, then they will schedule it to be pulled. It is very dangerous to pull an abcessed tooth.
swelling will go down fast
do it fast you can die from this if you leave the infection too long.
most dentist don't pull your teeth when they are abscessed because it can send the infection through your body they generally give you antibiotics until the infection is gone then refer you to an oral surgeon
Usually the dentist gives you an antibiotic first to get rid of the infection before he will pull it out. My understanding is that Novocain won't work with an infection and antibiotics so that is why the infection has to be cleared up before the tooth is pulled. I would think if you are already on med. he would pull it and the swelling should go down. Also if you are just on medication it should go down by Monday. Please take all of you medication for the infection. I know a 22 year old that had an abscessed tooth that led to an infection in his heart and died.
