Tooth abcess on my upper front teeth?

Dentist: See your dentist as soon as possible. Apply warm compresses frequently to try and get the abscess to drain. If your dentist is not immediately available, see your MD or urgent clinic for antibiotics. You don't want the infection to spread. Practice good dental hygiene. All the best.

Not enough: not enough information, are you swollen, inability to eat, teeth loose?

Tooth abscess: An abscess is an infection and infections can spread and cause serious complications. Set up an appointment with a dentist as soon as possible. This requires professional help. If your face starts swelling, you have a fever or other complication and you can't get to a dentist off hours, go to 24/7 medical facility or the ER of a hospital. Best advice is see a dentist asap!

See a dentist ASAP: The OTC painkillers or home remedies may provide some relief until you can get to your dentist. Remember, toothache pain will not go away on its own and dental treatment is a must.

Requires treatment: I'm not sure what you're asking here but if you've been told you have one, it will require treatment of 1 type or another depending on the cause of the abscess. Even in the case of no pain, it is an infection that antibiotics can mask but not fully address. You need a dental diagnosis and treatment plan.

See your dentist: so an xray can be taken. Save you tooth before it's too late.

See a dentist: My middle son is an ER physician. The ER will give pain meds and antibiotics, they will not treat the problem. See your dentist immediately. An abcess is an active infection that must be treated.

Question?: What's your question? If you have an abscess (infection) you need to see a Dentist, NOW, before it spreads. The Internet can't fix this for you. Get Halpern ASAP.

Get treatment. : An infection is never a good thing. It can lead to severe complications. See dentist. Get infection under control with antibiotics. Have root canal therapy to save tooth and seal root from access. It is like a longer filling appointment where you are numb so nothing hurts. You can have this tooth for a long time. A crown may be recommended at a later time. Good luck.

Contact DDS: Need more information to clarify. See your dentist if you feel something is wrong for a definitive diagnosis.

At gum line?or above: It could be either : 1) A root abscess (which you 'd need to have a root canal to clear it ) 2) A re-infection of the already root canalled tooth, where u need re-treatment of that root canal by an endodontist. 3) a root fracture (where u need to remove, graft & replace that tooth w/ implant , or a bridge, 4) A gum abscess..Means there is a food particle trapped just below gums, deep clean it

Abscess--get treated: An abscess on an front tooth is usually caused either from a cavity reaching the nerve of the tooth or due to trauma. Treatment is relatively easy-root canal with or without antibiotics. Do not delay treatment--your face is filled with blood vessels and the infection can spread and cause serious medical problems. See your dentist ASAP

It's common: Any tooth can abscess. whether is due to a deep cavity that hit the nerve of the tooth, or from prior tooth trauma that killed off the nerve. Regardless of why it abscessed, if a dentist told you that you have an abscess on your tooth, it means there is a pocket on infection in your jaw bone. That infection needs to be dealt with. Please follow up with your dentist to get the proper treatment.
