Hi
Thanks for writing in.
As per your history, you are having abscess in your teeth due to trauma.
You need to go for complete clinical & radigraphic examination of teeth.
Depending on diagnosis, it might require extraction or root canal treatment.
Meanwhile start with a course of antibiotic & analgesic.
Maintain good oral huygiene.
Consult dentist as soon as possible.
