Dental opinions, dental abscess
I have a abscess in my gum behind my last tooth. I went to the dentist and was prescribed anti-biotic. He said that my back molar will need to have a root canal but not until the abscess clears.
Can anyone advise me on how long that normally takes. I am in a great deal of pain and just want my tooth fixed. But if I have to wait for the abscess to clear first how many days am I going to be in pain for? Should I get pain killers too? Opinions and advise please.
