A member asked:
I had an abscess and the dentist cleaned my teeth, which was the one that should've hurt the most?

Infected: An abscessed tooth is an infected tooth. You need to see your dentist and see about the best way to get the infection under control.

Abscessed tooth: I'm not sure i understand your question but, a tooth cleaning usually does not hurt unless you have severe recession, inflamed gums, excessive calculus (bacteria). An abscess infection if not draining can build up pressure and be very painful. See you dentist for an evaluation and treatment.
