Suggest Treatment For Tooth Abscess

Hi I have a terrible toothache.I've been to the dentist about 6 months ago and he said there is a n abscess in my tooth,so no extraction was done.I can't afford extraction right now because there will be stitches involved as the tooth is broken.Also I have an intense fear of dentists.I can't bite on it at all,and it gets flare up where it throbs and when I drink hot or cold things,I want to scream.Any effective way I can heal this without a dentist?

Hi ...Can understand your concern...As per your query about treating tooth abcess under a tooth which is broken is ...as the tooth is broken it needs to be extracted probably but I would suggest you to consult an endodontist in your nearby locality to get it's evaluated if it can be saved by some advanced method like post and core etc.If it is not possible to save it you need to get it extracted soon to avoid more infection and complications.You need not to fear about dentist and it will be a painless short procedure.Xray of the involved tooth is needed to be taken along for examination..Antibiotics and pain killers can will provide relief temporarily but root cause can be treated only by visiting dentist....I hope the information helps you.Take care.
