Suggest Treatment For Jaw Infection
My dentist did a X-ray and the infection was as big as a thumb and a pinky finger in two teeth right next to each other I think 7 & 8. It the front tooth and the one to the right of it.. Whole right side was swollen. Last night the Abscess was coming out the gum. On antibiotics. Been using warm water salt mix. The abscess just started bleeding. Is there anything I can do? I be been spit the bleed out? Not a lot but don't want to swallow it. Called and left my dentist a message.

Hello,
Actually the swelling indicates that there is an abscess. When there is an abscess you need to get a root canal treatment done in the tooth, or if it is more in size then you have to get it surgically removed.
So you should your dentist to get the treatment done.
Hope it will help you.
