i seen someone else talkin about this in another abscessed tooth question but i was curious if this is true or not, has anyone actually tried it and it worked? I have an abscessed tooth but cannot get time off of work to get it taken care of for a lil over a month and sometimes it is quite painful so i was just wondering if this actually worked, and if anyone knows about it...is this the right thing to buy?? here is the link for what i was gonna get. http://www.gnc.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2367815&cp&kw=colloidal+silver&origkw=colloidal+silver&sr=1

Colloidal silver can help you fight infection and bring down swelling until you can get to the endodontist/dentist.
You would need a LOT of it.
I found the following of great use:
Selenium, Oregano oil gelcaps, vitamin C, and a lot of swishing either with hot salt water and/or Listerine.
Also works for a cold.

When I was in college, I had a roommate/friend who had an infected tooth and she put off going to the dentist about it for lack of insurance/money. In the meantime, she finally went to the campus health center because of her kidneys aching and she had a bad kidney infection caused by the infection in her tooth spreading to her kidneys. The kidney infection was healed through antibiotics, but the campus health center said she could have lost her kidneys if she'd waited any longer. FINALLY, she was convinced to go see a dentist about her tooth and have it pulled. I had to drive her home after the dental surgery due to the anesthesia she was on. It was a scary time - I was really worried about her. But I couldn't convince her to see a dentist - she was pretty stubborn. So, you did the right thing by seeing a dentist. I imagine that you need to clear the infection with antibiotics before the dentist can remove the rotten tooth or you WILL spread the infection to your blood stream. Good luck!!

Yes it can help. My sis used it a few times for mild infections she could not get to a doc fo and it cleared them up.
