ive had a couple of abcessed teeth that caused part of my face to swell up. and the only thing you CAN and MUST do is see the dentist/doctor to get antibiotics to clear the infection. then after the infection is cleared and the swelling has gone down, you see the dentist so they can remove or repair the problem tooth.

thank you for the information, all most everyone has mentioned antibiotics. I didn't use them, I used cur cumin for the inflammation and lots of aspirin.

I have and it very important to get an atiabotic to clear up the infection , if left untreated it can spread thru your body.,get the infection cleared up after that have the tooth pulled or repaired.

thank you very much for your response. it is very important to take care of the infection first, most dentist will not pull the tooth until you do.
