Do you have any answers on how to get rid of it and what is causing it since I dont hqce the money to see a dentist right now. Thank you
Hello! Welcome to Chat Doctor. This infected tooth in pieces as you have, is the real problem. This is the source of infection, and it caused an abscess. You need a clinical and x-ray examination done with your dentist. You might require to pull the tooth in case it is very bad. Do not postpone the treatment as this infection can spread. Use saline water gargling twice daily. Use a course of metronidazole and amoxicillin. Take a OTC painkiller for temporary relief. Seeing your dentist and getting the treatment done is mandatory. Regards.
