How can you treat with an abscessed tooth with a swollen cheek?

Good question: Not sure what you mean exactly. If the tooth is infected causing an abscess and a swollen cheek extracting the tooth or a root canal should fix it. Geting a tooth worked on that is abscessed and when you are swollen can be painful because all the nerves are hypersensitive and its hard to open your mouth. Anesthetic also usually doesnt last as long.

Dangerous: An abscessed tooth is a severely infected tooth. If cheek swollen it means infection is spreading. Any airway infection must be considered as potentially life threatening. Get to dentist immediately.
