Hello, My husband woke with a bulging bubble like blister on his gum near a tooth and a smaller one below it. He went to his dentist in fear it was an abscess . They confirmed it was and said he needed to have the tooth(6 of them) pulled after comparing an x ray to his last one. They called his teeth hopeless. They sent him home to think about what he wanted to do ( lots of $ involved), and they did not give him antibiotics for the abscess. He is in pain tonight and I want him to go to the er after reading what one can do. He already has tests being done due to some abnormal liver results. Isn t this dangerous to be left untreated for a period of time?
Dear jswflaIf the prognosis for the teeth has been determined as hopeless as it has to be extracted. It is not advised to leave it untreated for long. May be since he already has abnormal liver results medications have not been prescribed for him, because many of the medicines undergo metabolism in liver. You need to consult physician before prescribing any medications to your husband. Take a decision early, consult physician and go ahead with advised treatment. Wish your husband a speedy recovery Chat Doctor.
