Have a tooth infection on 31 moxie dosage treatment ends on 18th, root canal scheduled 23rd. is 5 days wait too long? should i seek treatment sooner?

2 suggestions: 1. Seek treatment sooner. If your Dentist cannot see you perhaps referral to a root canal specialist, an Endodontists, is in order. 2. Ask for refill of your antibiotic to carry you up until the time of your appointment.

A week ago I received a filling of a lower molar which had a 50/50 shot of needing a root canal. I have not had any pain; however, over the past two days my throat has been bothering me. Should I be worried about infection even without any tooth pain?
