I'm worried about my abcessed tooth. I am on the seventh day of antibiotics, but I think the infection is getting worse. My face feels swollen and numb. I went to the dentist and without even looking at it they only bumped my root canal up to next week and then sent me off saying it would be fine. What is the risk of it infecting my lymph system before I get in to that appointment?

What Is The Treatment For Abscessed Tooth?
Thanks for using Health Care Magic. Read your query. Since the antibiotics is already taken for a long time ,the swelling and numbness will reduce only when the treatment is initiated. I would advice you to call or visit the dentist office and take a early appointment or start with the emergency treatment of root canal . Do salt water gargling and avoid applying hot bag externally. Hope this was useful. Thanks and regards.
