Treat them: Unless the cause of the abscess is treated, anything you do just masks the symptoms. Have a local dentist take a look and treat your problem(s), and feel better soon...

See your dentist: Asap. Proper and prompt treatment indicated for long term success. Waiting = more pain + more expense + more time involved. No brainier!

Abscess: Abscess is an infection. The worse the infection, the greater the pain. Antibiotics will only temporarily slow spread of infection. Pain pills will not cure infection. Neither will pills, potions, oils, homeopathics, emollients, salves, or any OTC. Please get professional help immediately, see a Dentist, who will provide immediate pain relief and create a permanent solution for your problem.

See your dentist: Dental abscess is the most common type of dental abscess is a periapical abscess (tooth), and the second most common is a periodontal abscess (gums) or combination of both tooth-gum abscess. In order to get appropriate treatment it is important to know the underlying cause for this infection. Rec.: see your dentist for evaluation, x-rays and treatment.
