If you are still having a problem with a tooth after it has been endodontically treated then get in to see the dentist that performed the procedure as soon as possible.  As for any other pain in your mouth, see a dentist to have it diagnosed and treated.

You should go see your dentist asap.  I used to be a dental assistant and there are illnesses in the gums that can be treated.  Infections that you may not even know are there.  If you wait and don't find out what it is, the sockets can become looser and you could risk losing your teeth.

Sounds like your tooth is infected.  If you don't have insurance and can't afford the dentist, I would suggest going to the emergency room... at least there they can prescribe you an antibiotic and some pain medication.  Even without insurance, an emergency room at a hospital has to see you and treat you.  The antibiotic will take care of the infection now and the pain should go away.. however, beware.. until you see a dentist and have the tooth either fixed or taken out, it's going to eventually become infected again and you'll once again be in pain.  \n\nUntil you can either get to a dentist or get to an emergency room, you can take 800 mg of Ibuprofen which is prescription strength for the pain.  It has an anti-inflammatory in it so it's going to work better than Tylenol or aspirin.\n\nGood luck to you.

Abcess.. Oh yeah! \nBasically, your tongue popped it and the 'uaually' yellowish color was the infection. Yes, you now need to get the doctor (dentist) and have him/her xray it and get you started on antibotics. If the tooth is able to be saved, then yes.. Root Canal Treatment, is going to be needed. Then a crown, is needed. If the tooth cant be saved, then he'll pull it. They'll need an x'ray to determine how bad the infection was and if any bone loss has occured. Thats how they'll decided if it can be saved or not. \n\nBTW... Warm salty rinses, is GOOD ADVICE! BUT.. wont stop it from coming back. It's a temp, fix.  \n\nGood Luck....

abcess teeth smell horrible and you cant brush the smell away.  They also swell up really bad.  If thats not the cas then you dont have an abscess.

There really isn't anything you can do. Once it comes out, go to your dentist and he will tell you about replacement options.

Should see a dentist, could cause bad issues and if you have bateria in the tooth i *CAN* kill you.. or the infection could get to you..\n\nBut take advil, tylenol, aleve.. ect.. try to find a doc Monday. - if it gets too unbearable.. go to the ER\n\nI've had a infected pulp, and i had to have a root canal. so i know all about this situation quite well.. But only thing will stop the pain is find out what is causign it and have it taken care of.

An abscessed tooth is usually sensitive or painful. Abscess is usually caused by deep decay or an accident. Abscessed or traumatized (nerve damage) tooth generally requires root canal therapy or extraction. The pieces of tooth that you mention may be that of fillings (3 failed fillings for same tooth by the same dentist?). Beware, as in certain cases an abscess may compromise the immune system. Find a new dentist fast for an attempt to save this tooth.

Trust your instincts.  An insurance company is the last place you should ask for a recommendation for a new dentist.\n\nAsk co-workers or people at your church (or whatever) or even people you meet in stores.  After a while, you will start to hear the same name over and over again and this is a good place to try.\n~

Actually, with you being an American, and the insurance company is most likely an American Insurance company, the approved list of providers will be American. What I would do is contact your regular Dentist, see what strings he / she can pull with referals. Either that or, depending on what is going on< go to the Emergency room. If you have an absessed tooth, it has to be taken care of before you can fly (if I remember stuff from Dental Assisting School correctly). If you have a broken tooth, and it's broken just the right way, either it would be ok long enough for you to get back to the states, OR it could develop into an absess. But to tell you the truth, without knowing more about the tooth in question, I can't really say what the best move is beyond calling your regular Dentist. I'd also get together some names of local Dentist incase your dentist wants to do a referral. that way you don't have to call him back or have him sit on hold while you look stuff up.

If you haven't had a professional cleaning in 9 years, you got off easy. A debridement will get rid of all that buildup of plaque on your teeth - places where the brush doesn't reach. Most people can't see stuff on x-rays without being trained. If your dentist has an intra-oral cameral, you can probably see it.\n\nIf you have a vertical fracture, your teeth will eventually need to be treated. If you don't get it done, they will either be lost or need a root canal. It's up to you if you want them to match or not.\n\nIf you still don't trust your dentist, get a second or third opinion. The fact is, many dentists view the same teeth differently: one may be more conservative and believe in a "wait and see" type thing, while another leans towards "fix it before it breaks or hurts". Does not mean either is wrong or trying to cheat you, just a different philosophy.
