- Tooth abscess đ€ź How we get them and how to get rid of them.
WHAT IS A TOOTH ABSCESS?
A tooth abscess is a pocket of pus caused by an infection of the tooth and can occur in different areas of the tooth. A periapical abscess is an abscess that occurs at the tip of the root of the tooth.
A periapical tooth abscess is caused by an untreated dental cavity, trauma, or previous dental work that has failed. Bacteria invade the dental pulp - the innermost part of the tooth that contains the blood vessels, nerves, and tissue. Bacteria can enter the pulp through a dental cavity or a crack in the tooth and spread all the way down to the root, causing swelling and inflammation at the tip of the root.

Abscesses are not fun! If you've had one, what helped?
1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of salt , a few iodine drops , add warm water, stir. Floss and brush your teeth first. Sip the solution and hold it in your mouth as long as possible, spit out don't swallow. Repeat during the day. Before bedtime do it again. Worked for me within hours.
Taking pain pills drinking lots of water and taking medicine they gave me for a infection
@@Jadeddoxy Not a good idea at all!
@@ticks4ticks4 aw man đ
@@Jadeddoxy Yes; you don't want to drain any dental abscesses by yourself! Doing so may actually make your gums more prone to infection! This should be done by a licensed physician or dentist-if the need is determined. Sometimes, the dental abscess doesn't need draining, but rather, an appt. w/a dentist for removal; & an oral antibiotic in the meantime-& an extra round of antibiotics-at the discretion of dentist-will suffice. [Note: if the wait for a dentist is too long, then see a general practitioner for Rx-strength ibuprofen & antibiotics.]. They may/ or may not/ prescribe: narcotics [e.g. Tylenol w/codeine #3 or #4 ; hydrocodone bitartrate w/acetaminopen or Hydrodone/APAP [that is: "Norco , Vicodin. Lortab"-usually they do NOT prescribe these types of meds anymore.].
People like this is why going to the dentist is hard.
Like what?
Iâve done everything this dentist mentioned and some. I had a tooth pulled and a temporary bridge placed. I asked the dentist if I needed antibiotics and he told me Iâll be fine. Well, Iâm not fine. I went to my Drs to get amoxicillin prescribed and almost passed out at her office (dental office was on vacation). I ended up at the hospital 3 times, heart rate spiking feeling super weak, light head, severe pain like Iâm going to pass out. Saw my dentist finally, told me to start taking Zpak since amoxicillin didnât work. Today is day 5 of the zpak and The huge abscess hasnât gone away or the symptoms. Something I tried that temporarily numbed it is placing a fresh piece of ginger to the sight. Itâs all scary, painful and frustrating. At this point Iâve done everything and Iâm praying for God to heal me and heal whoever reads this. May it be his will, in Jesus name, Amen đđŒ
Hope youâre feeling better I just had an infected tooth pulled in January 4 and they put some stitches in so far so good
Hope you are feeling well. đ
Prayers to you đđđ I too have a small Abscess tooth
That sounds like the onset of sepsis
@@stevenmichaelhaskins7922 it does. An emergency room visit may be needed
Iâm crying because I donât know know what to do! đ Iâve always had teeth problems and I hate itâŠ

What ended up happening?
What ended up happening?
Just had an abscessed molar yanked yesterday. Cracked tooth at a weird angle that didn't even show up on x-rays. Dentist thought that i might have "bruised" the tooth. No abscess back a month ago but this last weekend the pain returned and my left check just blew up. It's a special kind of pain. It was amazing how fast it happened once it got going. First thing in the morning to the dentist. Drained it and got me referred to a Oral Surgeon. They had a 10 AM cancellation and the tooth was out by 11 AM. So grateful to have the pressure and pain gone. Now just recovering and then get scheduled for an implant. once healed up.
Good luck!
I had an abscess on a molar that had a root canal done 8 years ago and that was the worst freaking pain of my life. It started on a Friday and Saturday morning the dentist gave me Amoxicillin and ibuprofen 800mg listen that did nothing for me the pain got worse! From Saturday night to Sunday morning I was crying and screaming in pain with a swollen cheek! Found a dentist open on Sunday and begged them to remove my molar. They agreed and the minute my molar was extracted all the pus and pressure is gone and I feel soooo much better. Finishing up my antibiotics and Iâll be getting a (flipper) and then getting my implant. I had no idea that an abscess in your tooth could hurt that much and it should be illegal for emergency rooms not to have a dentist on staff cause it was a mission to find a dentist on the weekend!!!
That's great to hear from you. I have an abcess and I am extremely relieved to hear that the treatment procedure isn't painful.
Amen! Lying awake in pain. Canât get it removed yet because my mouth is swollen shut. When the swelling goes down, then they can do the procedure. Who knew this could hurt worse than child birth.
completely agree that there should be a dentist available in emergency rooms~
How have you been feeling since then after your molar tooth removal?
â@@mireyarodriguez8306 I got dry socket in mine after extraction...the removal of it and the placing of gauze in the wound makes most grown men cry ill just say that!!!!
Had over 50 of these in 5 years, 3 to 4 at a time and used to pop them myself with a needle I'd rinse with alcohol. Yup now I'm here with 26 teeth remived waiting for dentures, people don't ever leave them. I urge you see the dentist straight away
What else was wrong with your teeth though? and did you sterilize the needle before you poked them?
Lol lies
@@Alrightvibe how to sterilize? Can I use a wooden tooth pick to pop ?
I just had an abscess and I brushed my teeth with baking soda , then gargled with Colgate that has peroxide in it , then made a paste of baking soda with water and put it on my gums for 10 minutes , then used more of the mouthwash while the baking soda was still sitting and gargled another 5 minutes . Abscess gone ! Now Iâm good to deal with the tooth issue until I see my dentist next week .
How is your tooth now x
@@S-jy4fd not one issue ever since . I did this once a day for a week and it was gone
@@destaneehoward thank you so much xxx
What's so sad, is back in the day the dentist would pull this tooth out, but now they send you to a surgeon where you have to pay over $1000. What a scam. đ
Is it a scam to be toothless?
@@chrisjohns8887itâs a scam that it costs $1000 for ONE implant
The pain is absolutely excruciating, it sort of hammers rhythmically with your pulse!
Omg you best described it I keep telling my husband it feel like a heart beat sometimes
Throbbing.
Worst pain Iâve ever had. Over broken bones, torn muscles, getting shot in the hand. Abscess tooth is no joke
Worst pain đąđąđą I am dealing with one right now from a medication.
Can concur.
My mom had an abscess tooth that the pain was so bad she tried to pull out the tooth herself which made the pain even worse.
It definitely hurts like crazy. It's torture.
Iâve birthed two children and I prefer it over this pain. Agony doesnât even describe what Iâm feeling. Getting to a dentist today, i hope they get this tooth out of me.
Really informative. Thanks you.
Thank you for the information. Your explanation was very helpful.
Hello .. I enjoyed this video. A few years ago I had a root canal and last year the tooth became infected again. I didn't notice right away because the root canal took away the nerves but there was a lump on my chin
I was advised it needed to be extracted so I went to the dental office that did the root canal. My doc there told me a tooth has two roots and only one was infected on this tooth. He said I could have a "Root Amputation" and just remove the infected root leaving the tooth intact.
So this is what he did. The infected root was removed and now the tooth is anchored by only one root. And the area where the infected root used to be was filled with bone graft.
I just had my one year check up. The tooth is doing well and the bone graft has solidified. I am very careful with the tooth and make sure not to chew anything too hard with it. I am really happy with result. The tooth was saved !
.

Literally dealing with this now and itâs hell on Earth. Nothing but pain that you canât even sleep away.

Most people watching this video will be in oral agony. The presenting doctor could have made this video without giggling most of the way through it. In short, visit your dentist.
I thought the same thing because I AM in oral agony. Did not appreciate all the laughing.
He is a complacent frat boy. Not amused.
Because he enjoys every minute of your pain
Oral Agony sounds like a bad porn
@@AmySimmss Of course he does! it has made him a millionaire many times over no doubt. ;o)
"for profit" medical persons, are ghouls to my mind. Though the nation has many positives about its peoples and culture, it is one of the reasons I am happy not to be American.
This guy has never had an abscess tooth. You can tell by the way he shrugged off the pain.
Dealing with a rather nasty one myself. Gotta dentist appointment to get it examined tomorrow

Your comment scares me đ± straight to brush and floss my teeth đŠ· every single day twice a day!
Sheâs not lying đđđđ
@@PraveenSrJ01 Please continue to floss and brush daily! Having a tooth abscess was truly the most excruciating pain iâve ever experienced! Wouldnât wish that pain on my worst enemy.
Damn, i had abcess 3 times and its wearing me down lol
@@johnpen269 That's horrible I feel for you. I hope you get it sorted soon đ
Just had an abscessed tooth out yesterday. Itâs been bugging me for months. So glad itâs out. Not enjoying seven days of strong antibiotics but glad to have gotten rid of the pain. Severely dental phobia

Was it painful? And was your face swollen? Iâm going to dentist tomorrow
That's awesome ! Tooth pains are the worst !!!!!
What treatment did you do
Was you cheek swollen too?
Thank you for sharing Doctor.
This dentist said the word "NASTY" too many times! Like if he is disgusted to treat people with dental problems. Why he became a "dentist" in the first place! SMH! Where is his COMPASSION? It's terrible when you can't trust your caregiver! And the home remedies he mentioned were like an afterthought. It feels like we are still in the DARK AGES regarding DENTISTRY and other health care areas. SMH! (shaking my head x1000)
.
By personal experience, in order to prevent and/or cure gingivitis and/or an abscess, you can use a WATERPIX MACHINE, add a tablespoon of BAKING SODA to the water, and clean the area between the gums and the teeth to destroy the bacteria colonies.
.
Also, you can do WARM SALTY WATER GARGLES or COCONUT OIL SWASH in order to cleanse or medicate the mouth, throat, and teeth to help eliminate the trouble-maker bacteria.... because BACTERIA is the dental problem we must fight!
.
Hope this commend helps someone. Dental Problems can happen to anybody, being for lack of knowledge or help.

Nasty is a word to describe nasty unfortunately
Really good video. My complaint is, I established myself with a local cooperate dentist. I got an abscess. Called my dentist because the pain came on fast and was unbearable. They wouldn't take me in as an emergency but said they would get me in in two weeks! I called around trying to find another dentist to see me. No one would establish me as a new patient because they were so booked up and busy. I ended up driving 45 minutes to another small town to be seen by a new office of dentist to get help and spending $6000 out of pocket to deal with this.
You got it fixed right
Was it more than one tooth? Why did it cost so much? Just asking because I had to pay $1500 out of pocket for a root canal and crown.
@@MelModica Root canal can get infected. Crown need to be replaced too once in awhile
Should have gone to the ER
Dentist be ripping people off man. Be careful
I had an abscess occurred under one of my front teeth about 7 months after snapping my tooth in half and getting it repaired, it spread to the tooth next to it as well. I couldnât sleep for like 48 hours and I never want to experience that torture ever again,
Im so glad you made this now i know what to do
i never seem a dentist cure anything. real talk. thy mostly are just surgeons.
One word...BENADRYL. You may be sleepy for a few hours after you take it, but it WILL get rid of the swelling, pain, and infection. The pus from the infection is nothing more than poisonous mucus. The benadryl is made to help sinuses (a lot of it is controlling mucus). It worked for me within 20 minutes. Knocked the pain out QUICK, took down the swelling, and after 2-3 days passed, the abcess was still gone.
Iâm doing this thank you hope you not playing â€
Have you had any check up since? Can give us update please.
Thank you
update
Did you say it got rid of the abscess because I'll do anything i can to keep my body from being poisoned. I have my first abscessed tooth and it's scaring the hell out of me I'm sitting here thinking I'm going to die.
Im having abscess for over a year already. Thanks for the advice.
And you did not die, all this people want is extractions, implants, and thousands to their bank accounts
Thank you for sharing im setting a dental appointment real quick
Thank you very much been looking for this
I had absolutely gorgeous teeth two years ago ( my parents spent a fortune on an expander, braces, etc..) I have always brushed after each meal and flossed twice a day. But in 2020, I was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer and underwent months of Chemo & Radiation. I beat it (Hoorayâ€ïž) but then my teeth became my enemy. It started with my front tooth cracking one day. I hadn't eaten anything hard, there was no trauma, the tooth just cracked, and a week later it totally broke off. After that I got an abbsess, and was given antibiotics. The pain went away, and I was in college full time so I just ignored it. BAD CHOICE, over the next year a a half almost all my teeth have broken off, decayed, and became infected. I've been on antibiotics over a dozen times. Unfortunately, no one takes my Medicare ( I am on SSDI) & I have no dental insurance and the free clinics around here have over a year waiting list.
I am writing this for two reasons,
1. If I had had that front tooth pulled ( even if I had to do it myself) I wouldn't be in this position.
2. It's pathetic that here in the U.S. so many people still die every year from a tooth infection!
Questions:
1. Do Chemo and Radiation affect your teeth?
2. Do cavities really spread?
Thank you.
Cancer can have a negative effect on your teeth and tooth infections can spread around your body if left untreated for too long
đŻ cancer treatments are poison to the body, not just the cancer. To answer your question...yes.
WooooooW @Angelhaycock6928 sounds like your telling my story. Glad you went into remission. I myself had Ovarian Cancer and am in remission 9yrs now. đđŸđđŸ Before Cancer happened I was a victim of scam. A dentist used my fathers medicare to do unnecessary work for insurance. It's so unfortunate they really don't understand the pain they're putting us through and the confidence goes down, people treat me like I'm a drug addict. I hate it.
Read "Cure Tooth Decay" book
Radiation and chemo is known to rot the enamel and jaw bone.
You made no mention of dental probiotics. Such products vary in effectiveness because of different formulations with different brands but in general they are effective in crowding out the infection-causing pathogens. In some cases a tooth that seems like it must be extracted can stay permanently after the infection dissipates in response to dental probiotics.
Where can one get dental probiotics?
@@kathylittle3900, Amazon... I found one most recently called Riven that is a mouthwash with (supposedly) live probiotics in it. Developed by a dentist they say. Seems to work well. Before that I tried quite a few others. Only one that seemed good was one called Bionaze. That's a tablet you let dissolve in your mouth... The mouthwash one seems to be effective though
Thank you Joe
Thanks for the info.
Good content. Thank You.
This is what I did to stop pain instantly drink some cold water and hold it on the tooth. I then got some ground ginger and clove spice like used in baking. Put a pinch of each together and mix. I Added some DMSO to make it work quick and made a paste and put it in around the gums by the bad tooth. I got relief in minutes.
I had a pus filled bump on my gums next to a previous root canal for several weeks. Went to the dentist and he said I needed an extraction because the root canal was not done well and could not be fixed. I used a chlorine dioxide and DMSO solution on it for about ten days and the bump was greatly diminished. Went back and told the dentist that I was treating it and didn't want the extraction. He showed me the previous x-ray where the infection was visible and said it could get much worse. Then he took a new picture and after looking at it, he turned and said "What you're doing is working". The bump is totally gone now and I know the infection is gone.
Thank you !!
Can you please explain your regime with that from start to finish. How long. ? Frequency of treatment? How is it today?
Yes please share regime!!
@@natalychavez1493 I replied to you and the previous guy to the question but both were deleted because the subject is too controversial for YT.
@@quakerlyster Can you PM me the regimen?
Great Information!!!
i had a bad molar removed a couple years ago, even after that the abscess returned. nothing much you can do but just take a a needle and pop/drain it. It didn't hurt much, helped the swelling go down.
I had this, it was leaking puss and blood every 2 days, fixed it by storing listerine in my mouth for 15 minutes right after a fresh wound. used listerine twice every day and pushed at my tooth absess with listerine in my mouth so puss would come out and negative pressure would suck listerine into the wound. has been a month and no more tooth absenss. there is still a cavity under my tooth filling thou. I tried salt water, needle to drain absenss, which was not permanent , only reduced absenss size for 2 days.
You do NOT need antibiotics unless you suspect sepsis - bacteria in blood stream, high fever, risc of death.In such a case you need hospital a blood test to reveal which antibiotic is relevant . Until then you either get the tooth extracted or a root canal has to be initiated. Important the tooth is symptom free and any fistula /abscess is gone before root canal is filled. Loads of teeth have been prematurely filled based on symptom freedom due to antibiotics and NOT due to a successful endodontic treatment /root canal filling.
Very rare patients need antibiotic treatment in dentistry .
I disagree 100%
You need antibiotics if the abscess is due to bacteria. đ
â@@stevesmith1493 same. Antibiotics when you are in so much pain, helps kill the infection and pain.
Thanks so much, Dr.
Wow, love your melodrama, and you have the most stunning teeth! Wish you were my dentist! I have a small infection which comes and goes on a broken tooth, no pain, of course they want me to remove the tooth and get an implant, etc, at around $6k. I made all the appointments and then canceled the next day as I don't want to be rushed into anything. I agree with you, this condition does need to be addressed. I don't see how one can really treat an infection in a root from the outside but I am trying some (in the meantime) treatments.
Thank you, you just informed me of whats going on in my mouth.
After seeing 3 dentists since Mid August, with one of them twice, plus a trip to A&E courtesy of an extraction above an abcess and still not knowing what's going on.
Not cheap Omg
Sinuses can sometimes fool us into thinking itâs a tooth
Is it safe to remove the tooth when thereâs prevalent swelling or would they normally wait to treat with anti-bionics before extraction to prevent bacteria spreading
Oh great. I've a tooth that's chipped. I used Orajel Dental Gel Benzocaine 20% rapid toothache relief. To sooth it but it trapped something in the tooth and when i cleaned the infected tooth with a toothbrush it pinged off. Long story short. I had swelling felt sick. Had a Round hard lump underneath it and it was hot. It smelled bad in my mouth and used warm salt water to swill around my mouth that i spat out. I cleaned the tooth twice a day. Didn't see the pimple on my gum. I then treated it with a cold compress of ice in a plastic bag. It would hurt more if my mouth was open at night. Today the swelling has gone down but still a big lump underneath the big chewing tooth. I phoned a Hospital care line on sat and was told to call around my local dentist office's. They are all closed till Monday. ( With the pandemic ) there's a big backlog of dental appointments. So if i get seen i will probably have to pay for treatment. I thought it was getting better! As the swelling went down and the pain all but stopped. It's obviously not đą so if i can't get a dental appointment. I'm going to my ER room to get antibiotics and then get the tooth pulled out. I've had abscesses before but oh boy this one is đ„( owch ) I would recommend get a dentist appointment asap and don't let it get bad like i did
Why does it feel like dentistry is still stuck in the dark ages. I love how he says there are multiple ways to treat it when it basically comes down the typical same old two options; root canal which is hit and miss and then tooth extraction wher3 you have a giant gap.
Most dentists are stuck in the dark ages, but not all...
The Weston Price foundation can point you in the direction of a probably good dentist.
This guy, while well intentioned is giving a good deal of bad advice.
I think bout that all the time. I've got a rear molar thats disintegrating that's become a project as to how long I can keep it and a molar on the other side that developed an abscess on the other side that started after a filling on that tooth. It's been 5 yrs and it only gives me a problem one in a while.As I've lose faith in all local medical options, it won't be treated until either have no other choice, or else move away from this shithole. From my experience, the abscess isn't in the tooth, but rather below it.
@@ravenbarsrepairs5594 Its a similar situation to me. I had a filling done on my tooth and then months afterwards developed an abcess, which keeps recurring every several months. Have you noticed what seems to trigger a flare up of your abcess? I'm convinced chewing something tough starts mine off.
@@acquiesce100 bread tends to set mine off. I've been kind of following a primal/paleo diet for years, which I was lead to due to it's similarities to the heal tooth decay diet. I haven't seen any real healing, but my dental problems have stabilized. If I add bread back into my diet, it flares up. Being dehydrated also makes it worse.
@@ravenbarsrepairs5594 Interesting.I'm convinced Tuna or Chicken which really has to work my Jaw has something to do with it. Of course, the dentists dismiss it. So if I do have chicken or Tuna, it's in very small pieces and i soften it down. I didn't think about the dehydration angle. Will keep an eye on that. It's so frustrating.
I've had a pimple start showing up on my gums the last couple weeks. Its been popped about 4 or 5 times so far. pus comes out and then it appears to be gone.... But it keeps coming back. No pain or discomfort, but i'm guessing its an abscess.
I heard to not let it pop because the pus is bacteria that can spread quickly. Iâve had one for years that goes away for a long time with no issue. I should have gotten it pulled and replaced years ago. But itâs expensive. So I found being healthy is what keeps it away. When Iâm eating fast food or candy it comes back. I let myself go and it just came back so Iâm going to hit the vitamin c hard, garlic/lemon, tea, vegetables, and a good diet.
What did u take?
Mine was an abscess. I had to take Azithromycin anti-biotics for 7 days. 3 tablets a day to remove the infection. And then they performed a root canal, which was painless. I didn't feel anything.
In total it cost me about $200 because i am on vacation in Colombia. Dental work is very cheap here.
I had a tooth abscess one Christmas, the dentist gave me a numbing injection (that hurt more the the damned abscess) then he incised the gum and used a suction machine to remove the pus. Horrible experience, but when I walked out of the dentist office I could close my jaw and teeth đŠ· together without being in agony. The oral antibiotics worked well, but I had a low grade temp for a couple of days, loss of appetite for 6-7 days.
Had root canal work done and the tooth has been fine since.
Anyone suffering from an abscess now has my sympathy and I hope they feel better soon. These abscesses are total bugers! đą
Similar story but on new years dayđ„Ž
Do you lose the tooth or do the antibiotics help
@@chotu5781 Go and see a dentist as soon as possible. It will not go away on itâs own.
@@johnnycage435 I, personally didnât have to have an extraction. The antibiotics worked well, and it was approx 3 months after I had root canal work done. I have had no problems since. Each person is different, as are their teeth đŠ·
@@chotu5781 if you still have problems perhaps you should go back to the dentist
I'm not sure how a root canal, killing the root of a tooth, actually saves it. The tooth is dead without the root, the crown is just put in place to try to save the shell of the tooth. Pyrogenium is a homeopathic remedy for deep infections, septic infections, bone infections and fevers. I'm currently using it, my tooth hasn't flared up in over a year but i want to kill the infection, also using another method. So far so good.
Chewing on a garlic clove helps tremendously with tooth pains, it is also a very effective natural antibiotic. You don't have to swallow the garlic, just spit it out and rinse after chewing.
It works, though not as good as a coconut oil pulling.

My tooth was abscessed for the dentist said it wasn't because my cheek would be all swollen up. You can tell it was abscess because there wasn't a cavity but it hurt when you put pressure on it with your finger and bite.
Thank you so much doctor. What do I do to stop spitting out blood immediately I wake up in the morning and during brushing every day. God bless you.
What the dentists won't tell you , gargle with warm salt water and gargle cold pressed organic raw coconut oil helps as well. I'm suffering through an abscess right hand it is the most excruciating pain I've ever had and I've had 2 children! My entire face is swollen I go to get it pulled out in a day but I'm scared cuz I'm in such pain and I know it'll be worse after they mess with it. Everytime I go to any dentist they purposely leave little Nick's in my teeth that cause cavities and stains. I don't trust them . I never had a single cavity until I was 31 years old and now I have abt 10 or more and I take care of my teeth! The best part is the tooth I have an abscess on has already had a root canal and crown! I should not be having this severe problem. I went to dental school and was a dental assistant so I know how they keep u coming back.
How are you doing now?
@@JodyMorgan0220 Hi, I am much better now that they pulled that tooth. It wasn't as bad as I thought just to pull it but I still had swelling and pain for a week afterwards. Now Im just waiting for the hole to close up and wondering why they didn't stitch it shut cuz everything I eat gets in it then I have to gargle with salt water to get it out. What a complete racket! Thanks for asking! God bless you.
@@kellynh9303 I'm so glad to hear you are okay. And thank you for replying. I got a filling a couple weeks ago and now I am just getting the swollen cheek so now they're telling me they need to go back in for a root canal. I just want it pulled.
@@k.k8000 Aww thank you as well. I used to be a dental assistant and medical assistant, they only care Abt money. It's hard to find a dentist that doesn't and puts your needs first .I finally found one and she told me I could go get a 2nd root canal on the tooth I just had pulled but seeing my face swollen with an abscess she said I'm sure you just want it out and gave me a referral to get it pulled. It's still healing so I have to swish with pink Himalayan salt Everytime I eat since food gets stuck in there but it's not killing me anymore Thank God! I will never go through a root canal again after having one and the tooth still getting infected and needing to be pulled but this was a molar in the back so if it was a front tooth I would have felt different. It's all up to you if you feel comfortable getting a root canal ,it's a lengthy procedure, mine took 2 hrs and was fine for 5 yrs before it became infected. I do wish you luck with your decision and I'm praying for you to be at ease and pain free. God bless you đâ€ïž Ice packs help with the swelling, no heat that makes it worse. If it's still hurting tell your dentist and get pain meds prescribed. They're usually very stingy with them but will prescribe 800 Motrin or antibiotics that help. I'm really into oil pulling with raw organic coconut oil cuz it reverses cavities and dental issues but you have to be consistent and do it every day . I usually forget so of course I have to go have cavities filled next month . I'm trying to oil pull more often and see if it'll really heal my cavities without going to the dentist a million times for cavities they caused by leaving tiny Nick's in my teeth . Anyway going luck . I hope it works out for you đ
@@k.k8000 Your are absolutely stunning â€ïžif your still having to pay out of pocket and the tooth isn't visible or in front the cheapest option is to have it pulled.
My abscess was "under my molar" and they extracted it. It felt so so so good when they got it loose and pulled the tooth iut, I felt the firbres ripping (not a bad sensation) and they cleaned it out and put some sort of gel in the hole and got on a 3x 500mg amox 10 regiment. It feels so good now... I'm thankful.
Thank God these abcess treatment procedures aren't *"painful"* in any way. I was extremely nervous because I have an abscess and will be getting it checked out soon.
@@zacktyler2810 Well, it's not painful, you just feel a sensation, neutral imo. its just the ligaments that ripped are pulling past the gum, but after it hurts for maybe.. 6-7 hours and just take acetaminophen, or hydro if needed, just a 5mg one though, it really isn't too bad!
What did you do with your toothless gum (the hole after the tooth extraction)? Im afraid
Thanks Dr.!
I had all of my top teeth removed when I was 38 ( I'm 80 now, so long time ago ) but the reason was tooth abcesses under every tooth one after the other for about 3 years. I had beautiful teeth and was always so very careful with them but it didn't seem to help. The only way I could get rid of them was to pop them with a sterile needle as soon as the pain became to much. Luckily I was a nurse so had a regular supply of sterile needles.
Thank a million. This was very informative. Nice personality too.
I love how this guy laughs at the mention of pain. Lol
What helped me a lot is applying honey to the tooth and the gum on top of the tooth
Hi I have lost a part of my tooth and suddenly Iâm experiencing swollen jaw bone or gland. I believe you helped me figure out my problem so Iâm a check into a dentist about this âTooth Abscessâ but for now Iâm go get a ice pack and place it on my âJawâ
Take a spoon of a baking soda ( the one for baking only );
One cut of warm -cool like water
Mix it all together & rinse your mouth with it for about 2-5 min ..
I know itâs take little bit of time but trust me it really helps to take horrible pain away !!
Currently dialing with tooth abscess so itâs really helps ..
& of course gonna visit dentist soon!!
Hopefully this helps to all of you !!
Wish you health & happiness ! Gods bless !!đ€
Thanks abesces over my left molar was so tight, it became so tight without relief. I brush my entire teeth with peroxicare deep clean by arm and hammer then apply warm salt đ§ relief try took my precribe amocillion and ibuprofen... next a follow up with a spoon of baking soda to a glass of very warm water ...it came to head..POW the yoke it broken...relief ....Thanks! Now to numb and pack it for tonight. đ again. I am scheduled to have it removed in two weeks đ. Change of oral care along with soft meals is mandatory for while..
baking soda Should be safe for teethđ€ but my dentist told me to rinse with salty water once every 50 mins ⊠yet I googled that salty water for too often would damage teethđ€
I've tried everything that bloody apse will not go away it doesn't pain been 2 weeks now been on medication for 2 weeks . Infection still not gone been on amoxicillin 1000 mg twice a day still nothing
I've needed to go for months but I don't have insurance and have lost my job. I had 2 weeks of severe pain. The pain is gone now but I have swelling on my gum around the tooth. Sometimes it feels like I have a huge rock in my mouth. It cracked and decayed a long time ago. It's definitely a abscess now.
Fun huh I don't have insurance either at dentists are really expensive
SMHâŠ. Thatâs exactly what Iâm going through on and off now for about five months.
It didnât get any pain until about two weeks ago I woke up one morning and the whole left side of my face was swollenâŠBIG!! the toothâŠ.weâll at this point the whole mouth was achy. I did go to my dentist and he did something very odd to me but now Iâm listening to the video it makes sense he drilled a hole through the tooth and packed it with some type of medication and Iâm on antibiotics for the next week then I go see him for around 2 in about weeks from now
my daughter had tooth pain and a little abscess forming guess what completely took the pain away and helped her abscess? I mixed cold pressed raw coconut oil with TUMERIC and I rubbed it all over her teeth and gums . put alil on her toothbrush and brushed her teeth with it . also made her swish it in her mouth (it is called oil pulling) . .for one minute and then we rinse, and brush her teeth as usual afterwards. took it away almost instantly . I also rotate that with baking soda and peroxide paste ...morning and night followed by a regular brush to get rid of the taste since it really bothers her. took it completely away!
Can you share the ratio how much tumeric ans coconut oil to mix? Thank you currently dentist wants to extract my childs tooth but I really want to try and see ir I can get rid of the infection. It's funny how they didn't give me any other choice besides pulling the whole tooth out
I canât believe you didnât mention a salt rinse.
so I got punched in the face a few years back, (mistaken identity) and for the net week I couldn't eat food, my front tooth killed me. About a week later the pain was gone and I left it as I assumed that was the end of it. My girlfriend keeps asking me to smile randomly mid-conversation to inform me the same tooth is bleeding from the gum. I poke and prod the tooth but there is no pain, occasionally I have noticed a dull throb that is not painful but I can feel a pulsating feeling. I don't know why I never did this in all my checks but I lifted my gum the other day to see the gum directly over that front tooth is all red with a little bit of purple. If I compress on that area there is again no pain and no discomfort but blood will slowly ooze out of the gum. Is this an abscess? I have googled it and it shares a little resemblance to what I see but is not too similar. I brush 2 times a day, mouthwash 2 times a day. It has been years since the punch and i feel it should have escalated to a bad state by now if that was what it is, no?
Have one right now that's so bad I'm getting a black eye from it and it's about 3 teeth long. Pain from my teeth to he top of my cheekbone. Yay. Dentist said it was fine and just gave me antibiotics. Going back today to get it /properly/ drained whether the dentist has availability or not.
Interesting video. What if you already had a root canal?
You get a next 1
Rinsing your mouth with warm salt water helps a lot.
That's what my now late mum would do for me â€
I have a poorly done crown from almost 20 years ago which causes me periodic problems. There is an infection, but what I do to keep it in check is eat raw garlic. I'll mince fresh garlic cloves and sprinkle it on some suitable dish like past, chili, pizza, etc. Within a day or two, the pain is completely gone, and it usually remains gone for SEVERAL weeks. It helps that I love garlic. I suspect the anti microbial properties of the garlic are helping to kill the bacteria.
I did the same. But one day i got another sickness on which my immune system focused on and abcess nourished then. Better visit dentist
To those suffering with this and possibly embarrassed by the situation, donât worry. The dentist you go to will be trained to deal with this and being that you are a paying client, will give you the dignity you deserve. This guy is really unprofessional.
Good to know. thanks.đ
Had a tooth abcess on me last night
I am in the upper middle part of Maine called the emergency room in Bangor
They said there is nothing that they do for dental issues can prescribe antibiotics but will need to wait until dentist office opens Monday
Went online and searched there is no dental care in Maine on the weekend
The lack of knowledgeable dental care providers up here is really scary and the fact that hospital emergency rooms don't even have access to give care for dentistry in 2022 is pretty unbelievable
I called my primary care and they are calling in an antibiotic to start me on and will be at the dental emergency clinic Monday first thing when they open
This pain is awful
Thank you for the informative video
The worst pain I've ever experienced was my 2nd to last molar on my top right side. The top teeth hurt more imo because the pain pulses up into your head. Mine was horrible at night when trying to sleep. This pain was worse than when I got my appendix out.
Hi Iâm suffering from same problem. Itâs 1.33am here and Iâm kinda worried because of this problem. Can you please suggest me any solution that would help me?
@@AmandeepKaur-dw6to try baking soda and water, also warm saltwater will bring temporary relief hope you get better
@@AmandeepKaur-dw6to hydro peroxide also helps
OMG YES !!! I was prescribed pain medicine and I could still feel it.
Today September 2023 at 9:12 pm in South Africa I have an abscess at the exact same spot I'm getting it pulled tommorow
Bentonite clay helps keep the infection down, for me. I wonder if I use it long enough, will it make the abscess go away.
So I had a an apiceoctomy and it all seemed fine for a few days until the infection hit back and they somehow managed to drain it. But now I feel the pus coming out of my tooth which has a slight gap with the gum, I dont see any pimplish thing but Im really scared now....your opinions pls...do you think its the infection coming back...its kinda yellowish white and comes with a foul smelll
Regular teeth cleaning helps with this issue. Deep cleanings are effective as well.
Airflow cleaning rocks to get under the gums to clean . I need to get my teeth cleaning now you said this!
What you have that big red bump thing but you donât really feel pain or donât have a fever or anything like that
Also, can salt water help?
same what is this
I have multiple broken teeth and get an abcess every year or two in different places, just cut into it and drain it, wash mouth out with very hot water. Otc pain relief does nothing. Inflammation is fine, your body uses it to fight the infection don't try to reduce it. Usually once you cut into the abcess and get as much fluid out as possible your body is able to fight off what's left assuming your otherwise healthy.
If you go on antibiotics finish the course even if you think it's completely cured and have pills left.
I use peroxide and a splinter remover to deal with abscesses. The peroxide seems to bring the pus to the surface of the gums and makes it easier to pierce and drain it. Rinse again with peroxide afterwards
For my abscessed teeth, I used vodka to swish on it, I use garlic cut in half placed RIGHT ON THE TOOTH. Also... try gum for a "cap"
Tequila đđ»đđ»đđ»đ
Geezus u ppl are hardcore đ
Did it go for good x
Amazing editing!!

Hey, Nates editor here, thanks :)
I had TWO teeth that had an abscess! One of the teeth had a hole in it and it swole through the hole.
Affer the abscess pops how do you make sure it never comes back?
I've been to my present dentist twice in the past 5 years. I call them, The Make Work Dentist. I go in for something simple like a cavity fell out with no pain and end up with a root canal. I go in for a chipped molar with no pain and end up with a crown on that one, now with pain, and a crown on the root canal tooth. I have had an abscess for years and I never went in to have it checked because I don't trust the dentist. They say I need a root canal from a specialist that will cost me $3700 out of my pocket. I just don't have the money. Insurance but no money. Forced retirement for 13 years and living on Social Security. Ever since I saw them three months ago, I have had a severe neck problem. Had an ear infection a month ago but I thought that might be from my new hearing aids. Even the way they handle me feels like I am on an assembly line. I just don't trust them.
Most Dentist charge a lot - they have a High over Head- they have many technicians working for them .. some would say overpriced.
And besides - they have to Outsource the Dental Work to a Lab . Cause most Dentist DO NOT HAVE A Lab. More $$ CHARGED - to You .
Try colodial silver to get rid of if.
Did u have abscess for more than a year? Can we leave it as it is if doesn't hurt.? Pls reply
I've found that doing coconut oil pulls are extremely effective in killing bacteria.
Hi Simhi... can I ask how often is good do coconut oil pulls ?
I have heard about coconut oil pulling
Recently I have a pimple/cyst that is right in between 2 of my bottom teeth. It isn't the middle bottom teeth but a bit to the right. When I brush the area, it bleeds. But if I don't brush it, there isn't any pain at all. Now if I move my tongue around to feel it, there isn't any pain at all... maybe a little discomfort. Is this a peridontal abscess 100%? The thing is there are very few pictures I found online that show it right between two bottom teeth... most of it is either above or below the teeth. Is this gingival abscess then? I use listerine mouthwash on it in the meantime. But do you need to see a dentist real soon for this or not? Also what would they do to it? Do you always have to either get the tooth remove or a root canal? Or could they drain it or deep clean it or give it antibiotics and that would fix it? Planning to also get deep cleaning done on my teeth as I haven't done in years. But what about this abscess if it one? Will dentist drain it first and then weeks later I can deep clean teeth later?
Here's something to think about. I have had a swollen area at the base of a molar for a few years. When I finally went to a dentist, who I don't trust, they did a cleaning that I call a Power Washing. I think it's a water jet that gets under the gums. Since then, the swelling has been a lot less, but my neck has been very sore and radiates into my head when I bend over or sneeze. It's terrible when you can't trust your caregiver.
You should definitely avoid going to any dental health care professional then. That will solve all your trust issues (eyes rolling).
@@susanmetz9892 My Point is, don't just think that anybody is a "Highly trained professional, they Must know what they are doing." THINK, for yourself. Use your own Common Sense and Logic. If something doesn't sound right, it may not be right. There have been Make Work professionals throughout All industries. Just because it's health related, doesn't mean they are all saints. Followers won't agree with me on that.
I must appreciate Dr odija on CZcams for helping me in getting rid of Norovirus, Your product for healing stomach bug is really the best keep saving lives!!!
@m v My hygienist power washed my gums and after that the infection was half. I horizontally brushed so the bristles would ran out any dirt and soaked the area with hydrogen peroxide. It's almost gone and didn't need a $5000 root canal. 'Make Work Dentist.
@@JB91710 thank you I am going to try it.
Just curious, can a dental implant become infected? I have had one in for about 11 years, no issues, but I was just wondering do they generally last forever, without any infection or other major issues?
It can get infected like natural teeth but with good oral care it can last a very long time, it just doesn't develop cavities the way natural teeth can
I have had a reoccurring one for a couple years what do I do? It deflates and inflated at least once a month
Iâve been dealing with an abscess for a month right when I suppose to get my root canal I get an abscess not only that on both sides one that they filled 3 months ago thatâs been giving me problems. Iâve been taking Amoxicillin but realized Iâve wasted money getting a tooth filled that I shouldâve just had extracted and now Iâm in pain with an abscess on both sides Iâm praying itâs gone on the 17th atp I just want the both out and all four wisdom teeth out
the comment section is more useful than the video itself. here is what i have gathered from what i have read here as well as elsewhere. to get rid of the abscess, you need to get rid of the bacteria. in order to do that the 2 ways are through amoxicillin and another method is oil pulling. im currently having swollen gums bottom left under the 2nd or 3rd molar. just saw the GP and she gave me amoxicillin and mentioned that this antibiotic is especially good for gum related bacterial issues. at the same time ill be coconut oil pulling 4 times daily. just hope this abscess/swelling will be history very soon. the feeling sucks!đȘđȘp.s. painkillers just subside the pain TEMPORARILY. it will come back soon after. reason? the bacterium are still having a party in your gums dats y. expel the bacteria and the swelling will be a thing of the past
Did it end up working that you didnât need the tooth pulled?
Did oil pulling help get rid of abscess?
Oh MAN!!! I tried the clove on an abcess once and I put clove oil on it and silent screamed! It hurt waaaaaay worse. I will just stick to the liquid benzocaine lol
Thatâs an essential oil. Did you use a carrier oil?
I have a recurring abscess from a botched root canal, I lost both neighboring teeth and had them pulled and this tooth is crowned but keeps getting infected, the dentist said I need to pull this root canal'd tooth but then i'll have 3 missing teeth at 20 and they want me to wear a denture but I refuse, so do I just get it treated every time it's infected until I die??
can't afford anything American healthcare is a joke
I'm going tomorrow to get my tooth done I need a root canal tysm for clearing this up...
One of the best natural treatments ive come across, is tumeric powder dissolved in water..strong solution. swish 10mins at least. takes inflammation and pain down. Also ,wheatgrass powder, do same thing..works wonders. Make sure strong solution...like nearly 1tsp in a mouthfull of water. Also, as a natural antibiotic...oliveleaf extract works well.
Video Title: How to cure abscess teeth
Dentist in video: There is no cure. Having me rip your teeth out is the number 1 recommendation. All I'm hearing for solutions instead of legitimate self oral care advice. You can do regular appointments to get a thorough clean for your teeth as well as antibiotics. Your mouth can and will recover if you commit to high maintenance. I am not a dentist, but I speak from personal experience. I was lazy and didn't think my teeth would be susceptible to decay. But I ended up with cavities, gingivitis, and yes, even abscess teeth. Thankfully however, I made a comeback and although the cavity damage can't be undone (get them drilled and filled), they are stronger now.
I'm in a similar situation and wish I had known this sooner, unfortunately I already had the tooth pulled but I'll definitely keep this in mind if I ever have this problem again
I have dental flossed brushed all my life still go access. Still have teeth that break. It called age. Nothing last for ever.
Thank you
Should an incision & drain completely get rid of the pus and swelling? I just had one done yesterday, but it is still a good size. Not sure if they did it correctly.
