Abscess not painful anymore but still there, what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
2 choices: 1) may not be painful, but infection still there. One choice is to see dentist to eliminate the infection while you are still comfortable. 2) other choice is to wait until infection flares up again dmd you have a painful, invasive, acute infection to have to deal with entirely your choice.
