Periodontal abscess: Abscess is an accumulation of pus that forms inside the teeth or gums. The common cause is typically a bacterial infection. Any patient with symptoms linked to a dental abscess should see a dentist asap. The antibiotics is not a way of substituting treatment with a dentist. In most of cases, complications only occur if the abscess is left untreated. Use the free clinic for tooth extraction.

Don't wait: Although antibiotics may give you some relief, it is not recommended to keep bad teeth in your mouth for any period of time. If money is an issue, try looking for a free clinic in your area, or call the dental society they may. Find a dentist to remove your tooth for free. I hope you get better and don't put it off.

From what you: From what you describe, it's very risky not getting immediate treatment. You need to at least get hopeless teeth removed. Antibiotics may temporarily control spread of infections but only as long as you take them and even then does not eliminate risk. Are you eligible for state aid program?
