How long before my cavity turns into an abscess?


It is on my front tooth between the front teeth. I saw my dentist last July, and he didn't say anything about a cavity being there.

The tooth is sort of stinging a bit. Not throbbing, and you can't really see it unless you look really close. It's more on an annoying sensation.

My dental insurance doesn't kick in again until December 1st.

What are the chances it will abscess by then?
----------

If you brush your teeth with a fluoride toothpaste and use ACT mouthwash 3 times a day, it should be okay until December.  (+ info)

Why does my abscess pop and then comes back a few minutes later?


I have had what I what I believe to be an ongoing abscess for about 4 years now. It's a large bump on my gum and occasionally it swells and gives me a lot of pain, even a high temperature. Like now, it has popped several times when rinsing with baking soda and peroxide. Then moments later it swells again.

You need to go to a denist TODAY - if you cannot afford to go to the denist you MUST GO TO A MEDICAL clinic and ask for Antibiotics - Amoxil in Australia.

Be aware that dental abscesses can and do spread fast - to the brain - we recently had a 14 year old in my home town who died because his mother did not want to pay for a dentist.

Most doctors will at least give you the drugs to stop the infection if you promise to go to a dentist. Do NOT go from doctor to doctor for more antibiotics.  (+ info)

How long does it take for a tooth abscess to develope?


I noticed a lump on my gum next to a tooth that is heavily filled so i went to see the dentist, he said it was on the verge of turning into an abscess and gave me antibiotics for 5 days, i have 2 more tablets to take and i notice no difference to the lump but i am due to go abroad tomorrow and am scared it will turn into an abscess on holiday! Anyone know how long it takes for an abscess to develope?
----------

It takes about 24 hours to 72 hours to form and the antibiotics are not really to reduce the size of the abcess, it targets the bacteria in there to reduce there potency, the size can only be reduced by draining it, tell him you going abroad as flying with an abcessed tooth is no no  (+ info)

Which antibiotic is generally prescribed for a person suffering from an anal abscess?


My father has an anal abscess, it was drained but he has not received antibiotics so far and it's been two weeks. He has now been advised by two different, more experienced gastroinestinologists than the one he went to that he does need antibiotics. Question is, which brand of antiobiotics is the appropriate one for something like an anal abscess?
----------

Whatever one the doctor thinks is most appropriate. I'm not an expert, but I do know that there are drug interaction and side-effect issues that his doctor will need to take into account and it's really more then we can get into here on this website.  (+ info)

What are some abdominal workouts that will give me an eight pack?


I have a friend who bet me that in six months I could not get an eight pack. I already have a pretty solid six pack and I eat healthy and exercise daily. That's not good enough to get an eight pack. I need some workouts for the abdominal area that would strengthen my abs and make them a rock solid eight pack in six months. I'm researching this and need to come up with a plan for the abdominal area. Anything is appreciated and ideas are welcome.
----------

Get an ab mat and do situps on it, or I don't know if you know about GHD machines?

Experiencing abdominal discomfort during the time my period would normally come?


Im only 4 wks pregger but im experiencing abdominal discomfort. Not cramping just discomfort. This is around when my period would have been due. Is this normal?
----------

TOTALLY normal!

i was ready to go out and buy tampons when i was 4 wks pregnant. I was so sure my period was coming. had strong positive pregnancy tests since 8 DPO and the pains at 4 weeks were so bad that i thought for sure i had miscarried and my period was coming at any minute.

cramping will continue throughout your 9 months and if you worry about every little ache, pain, twinge and cramp you wont enjoy your pregnancy.

congrats :)  (+ info)

My friend has an abscess under his arm that’s leaking. Do we seek medical attention now?


My friend has had the same abscess under his arms for several days and was told to seek medical attention if it didn’t appear noticeably better. The thing just started leaking pus. What do we do now?

I had one, so did my son and daugher, staph infection, we all went to the doctor, to be put on antibiotics to help the infection. You may want to........but once it has started pussing, it should get better, if it doesn't, i would go... it may be a pimple gone bad...as the doc told me about mine...was right on the butt it hurt !!!!!!!!!  (+ info)

How long does it take for the swelling caused by an abscess tooth to go away when taking penicillen.

I have a pilonidal abscess and I wanted to know if anyone has any tips for the pain and discomfort?


I've had the pilonidal abscess for 2 weeks, although I only found out yesterday that I need to have the surgery to get it removed. I just wanted to know if anyone has found the antibiotics helpful or if anything else has helped them relieve the discomfort? My doctor told me that the antibiotics will help 5% but I consider that to be better than none.
----------

Mine was lanced followed by a round of antibiotics and that did the trick for me, although I know relapse is common. For pain, try a hot moist washcloth to reduce swelling and encourage draining. Avoid sitting for extended periods of time. Good old tylenol or advil may work too. I know they suck big time so hand in there!  (+ info)
