If you don't: have severe pain, swelling or other problems you can probably wait one more day. Ask your dentist to prescribe some antibiotics to keep infection from spreading to your jaw. don't miss your Friday appointment.

Abscess: The infection will not wait for your appointment. It would be better if you can move up your appointment or get an antibiotic prescription to help control the infection until Friday.

Not really: An abscess is a virulent spreading infection. If you had an infection anywhere else in your body would you wait to be seen?
