I have had a bad tooth for ages now and today its worse than ever severe pain and very uncomfortbale and feels like i have abit of swelling around the gum.
I worry that i have a tooth abcess but i know your face swells right up when you get one of these.
I know a tooth abcess can cause blood poisoning and kill you and im really worried at the moment i havent got a dentist and i have got to wait 2-3 weeks to have it removed what if i get a tooth abcess and get blood poisoning and die by then?
I am very worried i just hope i will be ok, my gum is sore and red and like i say have alittle swelling but i have been using alot of antibacterial mouthwash and warm salt water.
I heard all the bacteria from the abcess goes into your blood stream and can kill you very quickly.
Ive never had an abcess before but i dont want to get one i am really worried right now and feeling very uncomfortbale with my face and tooth and gums hurting and im in pain even with taking strong painkillers.
