I have a tooth abscess. I know it because I’ve had one before. This is definitely not in my budget to get it fixed. What can I do to get rid of it without a dentist? V.C.
V. C. – A tooth abscess is caused by a bacterial infection. You need the help of a dentist to drain the abscess, perform a root canal treatment, and get rid of the infection. It’s not something that you can do yourself.
It’s important that you get dental treatment right away before the infection spreads. An infection that is left untreated can be life threatening.
If you don’t have a regular dentist, contact an emergency dentist for an appointment.
