Are there any home remedies to help infected tooth?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Unfortunately no: To remedy a tooth infection, you need to have the tooth treated, and you need a dentist for that. The sooner you call the sooner you will feel better..

No: There are good reasons why infections are treated by doctors. They are trained to diagnose the cause, type, and extent of the infection, and to provide the best treatment to quickly, efficiently, and most of all safely eliminate the infection. No patent medicine will do that. Please, before the problem becomes intractable, please call your trained experienced dentist. You'll be glad you did.
