Why Root Canal Therapy?
The pain of an abscess is dreadful, but the treatment shouldn’t be. We can ease the pressure and hopefully save that tooth using modern equipment, materials and anaesthetic.
Top tips if you are struggling with a painful abscess.
- Throbbing tooth
If your tooth is throbbing, keep your head up. - Help with sleeping
Sleep with some extra pillows under your head to keep the tooth higher than your heart and relieve some pressure. - Take painkillers
Ibuprofen and paracetamol can help but read the packet. Make sure that ibuprofen in particular is suitable for you and that it is taken with or after food to prevent tummy problems - Antibiotics aren’t the cure
Although for some cases dentists will prescribe antibiotics, the only way to get rid of the pain is by clearing out the dying pulp inside the tooth. Call a dentist urgently. - Don’t delay
Abscesses shouldn’t be left untreated as they can become very problematic and make you quite unwell. Seek help if you are at all concerned.
