I'm pretty sure I have an infected abscessed tooth. I felt it yesterday but now it's even worse. The swelling has taken over my cheek, and I feel it crawling up to my eye and onto the other side of my face.
The dentist I attend doesn't open until Tuesday because it's Labor Day weekend. I've already taken two doses of amoxicillin and motrin, along with regularly putting ice packs on my face, and rinsing with warm salt water once every hour. But the swelling is getting worse.
I really don't know what to do. I know I need a root canal, but I'm afraid that by Tuesday, it will be too late. My parents are out of town, and I already feel like a liability to them. I want to go to an Urgent Care but it has to be tomorrow, and I'm afraid they'll tell me that the infection has crawled to my cheek. I'm afraid I'll find out that we can't save the infected tooth, and it's in the front.
I really don't know what to do. I need help and reassurance.....

I've just googled "abscessed tooth" and according to your very serious symptoms, you need immediate dental attention.
ReplyDentist doesn't open for another three days :/ Can't make an appointment until then....
ReplyYou need emergency attention. Not just to do the root canal. To prevent severe damage to your health in general. Please please please listen to what we are saying. You need emergency treatment. This cannot wait!
Replyplease go to an Urgent Care center quickly it sounds very serious
