Visitor asks:

Hello, a year ago I received an upper bridge. I have now changed dentists, and because my gums were inflamed I was given an antibiotic. The teeth under the bridge need root canal treatment, but now pus has accumulated in my gum. The dentist made an incision to let the pus drain, and for five days I have been going back to have the drainage strips changed, but there is still quite a lot of pus. I would like to know how long the strips need to be changed before there should be an improvement.

Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:

Dear Sir/Madam!

Changing the strip alone will only reduce the acute symptoms, which most often happens already after the first visit. Root canal treatment or extraction of the tooth is necessary, as you have already established yourself.

Have a nice day!
