hi, i have an abcess in one of my top teeth, i went to the dentist today and had a complete check, he gave me antibiotics and im booked in for a root canal treatment next week,  however this evening i now have the same throbbing ache in one of my bottom teeth, the dentist didnt say anything about it today.  im just wondering if abcess pain can transfer like this or is it likely that i have a second abcess?
Hello, Yes, it is quite common due to the spread of inflammation. Take all medicine as prescribed by your dentist. Report your symptoms to your dentist. Check for pressure and hot sensitivity. Check for a bubble on the gum. Report any of these symptoms to your dentist concerning other teeth. The tooth needing a root canal may have raised up due to the infection and needs to be adjusted. This can cause pain to the opposing tooth by hitting it harder. An aggressive infection can cause swelling and other inflammatory reactions that will be relieved when the source is treated. It is possible that another tooth has become symptomatic and needs treatment. Your dentist will review your recent X-rays and advise you if there may be concern for another infected tooth. Thank you for your inquiry. I hope you feel better soon.
