Peridontal disease?
Question:
Answers:
In my opinion (and I know you haven't been in a long time) but I would recommend seeing the dentist for this one. It may fall out on its own, if you can work it out that is great, but the abcess causes me concern. An abscess won't heal itself and it is an infection that isn't good for your mouth or the rest of your body. If the abscess causes you pain or inflammation at some point the anesthesia the Dr. uses will not work as well if they decide to extract the tooth. The good news is--- that the tooth should be really easy for the Dr. to remove and once it is gone you are no longer dealing with a chronic infection.
So if you are trying to remove the tooth yourself, bite and chew on foods like apples or gummy bears or just work it back and forth with your fingers. The root of the tooth should be pointed to the end once it comes out, it the end looks broken you might have broken it in the process. Again, this is a good tooth have loose since it is probably single rooted unlike our really big molars in the back. Take some advil (or what you would take for a headache) and maybe some anbesol and see if you can remove it.
Hope this helps and good luck!

Get yourself to the dentist, NOW. Do you want to lose all your teeth? That's what will eventually happen if periodontal disease is not treated. That abscess you mention could also get into your blood system and make you very ill. You need antibiotics and to get started with treatment. The longer you wait, there more there is to be concerned about.
This is a simple, cheap solution to various painful mouth problems. It is VERY HEALING.
Forty years ago my roommate and I stood our toothbrushes in the same Glass. I got a sore throat and at the Dentist I learned that I had Strep. So we both got the Strep.
He prescribed using HYDROGEN PEROXIDE. It is very inexpensive.
Your drug store has it on the bottom shelf next to alcohol, usually. It is about $1.00 a quart.
I brush with it most mornings, so it will get under the edge of your gums to
Heal right down to the roots, but, swish and mouthwash with it daily. Several times if you have a specific problem that you are trying to heal.
I was born into a family with only fair teeth, but with the use of HYDROGEN PEROXIDE for 40 years, I have very healthy gums. It bubbles infection up and out of the tissue. It heals your gums after flossing if they are tender and does a great job on canker sores , absesses or fever blisters. The stuff works great.
It is recommended at a mouthwash on the bottle, my Doctors use it in their offices, so I KNOW IT IS SAFE. Many people think it is not safe in your mouth, but they are just plain wrong. Don’t swallow, as it tastes weird.
I certainly hope this will help you with your problem in a simple, inexpensive way. Doctors are a real necessity, but there are actually many simple solutions that do not require going to the Doctor.
Good Luck.
REGARDING SAMM...I have some windex to help with broken bones...seriously, you need to get you facts straight before you give good advise. Hydrogen peroxide is not a cure all -
