Abscess: An abscess should be treated immediately for obvious reasons, morso if you have other medical conditions. Explore health care financing for your treatment. By the time you save up for care the tooth may need to be extracted. Consider going to Stony Brook Dental School for reduced fee care if being seen in a private practice is not possible.

See a dentist ASAP: The tooth pain won't go away without treatment and the infection may spread to your jaw, cheeks, sinus and to other areas of your head and neck. You can use Tylenol (acetaminophen) for pain control.The maximum ibuprofen dose for adults is 800 mg per dose or 3200 mg per day. See a dentist ASAP for assessment and treatment options..
