Hi, I think I may have an abcessed tooth, but I don't know what the symptoms would be. Due to finances
and substandard insurance I can't see a dentist until after the holidays. I'm currently taking antibiotics
for a sinus infection which seems to help the discomfort some but I know it's not going away without
intervention. At the present time the tooth itself is very sensitive, at the gum line there's quite a bit
of swelling and the tissue has a white appearance. The swollen area feels hard when I touch it but I know
it wasn't this way last week. What do you think?
