Homeopathy has no effect for an abscess. If anyone suggests that you take such "remedies", ask them if they will assume responsibility for your care. By law, your dentist or doctor have this imposed upon them to give you the best care. Your homeopathist won't do this for you.
Antibiotics may have a temporary effect, but should only be taken as an emergency measure and you should arrange for proper treatment ASAP (root canal therapy or extraction).
Yes, some people die each year from tooth abscesses. They have usually had multiple courses of antibiotics rather than treat the real problem. I have sent a few people over the years to the central hospital for immediate surgery because of this serious self-neglect.

There are a couple of homeopathic remedies - for temporary relief only. If it is absessed then you really need to get the tooth taken care of at the dentist. The infection will continue to come back until the tooth is dealt with by a professional.

No you really need to go to see a dentist because an abscess will eventually kill you

I don't believe there is one...
An abscessed tooth is deeply infected by bacteria and has a
hole in it...
Antibiotics may kill the bacteria but it will get infected again because it has a hole in it...

No...if it's abscessed, you'll need an antibiotic.
Don't forget, before antibiotics, people used to die from tooth infections! Please take it seriously and see your doctor or dentist to get some medication.

have you tried cloves?
You can buy them from the chemist, just rub it on the abcess. You cant use them if you are pregnant tho.
