Visitor asks:
Hello. Today I visited my dentist because I woke up this morning with swelling on my right cheek. Some time ago a lump appeared high above the tooth, but it did not hurt until yesterday. Yesterday it opened and blood and pus are draining from it; teeth 4 and 5 are practically only stumps. She gave me Amoksiklav and said the swelling would remain for a few more days. I would just like to know whether there is any other way to reduce the swelling. My next appointment is in December. It is very unpleasant and also painful. Thank you for your answer.
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
A fistula or abscess has formed above the tooth. An additional incision of the swelling will therefore probably not be necessary. If the teeth can no longer be restored, they need to be removed if you want the condition not to recur.
Have a nice day!
