Suggest Remedy For Chronic Tooth Abscess
I had an absessed tooth that began hurting 10 months ago. Was told by my dentist the tooth looked healthy. I finally went to the endodontist & he performed root canal, stating the tooth was completely absessed & the root dead. It's five days later & I still have chronic pain, feel light headed & sick. I am taking antibiotics for the infection.
