I have been having a gnawing pain on and off for probaly 6 mths or so on the right side of my face only (ear, jaw, tooth)...I made a dentist appt and he said my right back wisdom tooth was abscessed and put me on antibiotics, but he didnt really give me much info on what a abscess was and from my research this is pretty dangerous...My tooth doesnt look black or decayed or anything, but I have noticed a pimple like bump right beside of that tooth...Can I just up and die from this or are there warning signs? Why does the pain come and go? I am really freaking out about this and I cant get into my dentist to get it pulled for 3 more weeks!! Will a extraction completley take care of it or what if it has already spread? Anyone had experiences with a abscess..if so I would love to hear your stories and how you handled it? Am I just being paranoid? Sorry I know this is alot of ?s....thanks for your time!
