Call your doctor: You've written previously that your doctor prescribed you an antibiotic to help with the infection until you can see your dentist. It is untreated tooth abscesses and infections which can be very dangerous. You're on at least partial treatment until seeing your dentist. Rinsing your mouth with salt water ; tylenol (acetaminophen) for pain may help. For additional help with this today, please call your doctor.
