What can be done to comfort an oral infection until seeing a dentist?

Antibiotics: For that you will need a prescription, and your dentist will hesitate to call in a prescription without seeing you, so call for an appointment asap and feel better soon.

Infection? See a DDS: How do you know you have an infection? There are many types of oral problems that could be considered infection, yet they require different treatments to attain a successful outcome. You will need to see a dentist to determine exactly what your problem is and the best treatment for this problem. There are no home remedies that would be specific for whatever you feel is infected.
