A member asked:
Two days ago my dentist started a pallet reconstruction on an abscess tooth. the next day i woke with a large painful lump on the roof of my mouth ?

Probable infection: It sounds like an active infection is present. I recommend you have your treating dentist evaluate the tooth for possible root canal involvement, root fracture or periodontal involvement. Treatment to resolve the swelling should precede further restorative therapy.

See specialist: See the endodontist to evaluate the abscess and possibly an oral surgeon for the roof of the mouth. This is a serious area for infection -- do not wait -- get there tomorrow. See the specialists.
