A member asked:
I've had a bad molar for a few months now. i'm just trying to figure out if it's abscess or not?

Why guess ?: It needs to be treated, one way or another. Call a local dentist for an evaluation.

Infection: Teeth don't self-heal. If you had a bad molar months ago, you have a very bad molar now. Spread of infection must be controlled. Please quit putting off the inevitable and call a Dentist ASAP for an appointment.
