Hi I actually have a pus gums right over my front tooth. I have taken antibiotics the first week that I first got it. I have 6 more days before I go back to the dentist for my root canal treatment but I would like to try and drain it first. because its really uncomfortable with where it is situated. I am at the point where I just want to jam a pin through my gum just to drain it.Does anyone know how? p.s. aside from doing root canal? i really want to know if theres another option, treatment, or solution about this. As i heard after rootcanal is done by the dentist your tooth could be dark in the future. or else the tooth will removed? and i dont want that to happen. please help me, thankyou in advance
Thanks for asking to Chat Doctor. As you have said that you have pus collection in gums in relation to upper front teeth and your dentist advised you for root canal treatment. And you might have history of trauma to upper front teeth before some years. This should be a case of periapical abscess. So in this case, as your dentist advised you, root canal is necessary for permanent cure. And if your tooth is not black now than there are fewer chances of tooth blackening after act if copious amount of HY Chat Doctor. Take care and get well soon
