- Tooth abscess 🤮 How we get them and how to get rid of them.
WHAT IS A TOOTH ABSCESS?
A tooth abscess is a pocket of pus caused by an infection of the tooth and can occur in different areas of the tooth. A periapical abscess is an abscess that occurs at the tip of the root of the tooth.
A periapical tooth abscess is caused by an untreated dental cavity, trauma, or previous dental work that has failed. Bacteria invade the dental pulp - the innermost part of the tooth that contains the blood vessels, nerves, and tissue. Bacteria can enter the pulp through a dental cavity or a crack in the tooth and spread all the way down to the root, causing swelling and inflammation at the tip of the root.

Abscesses are not fun! If you've had one, what helped?
1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of salt , a few iodine drops , add warm water, stir. Floss and brush your teeth first. Sip the solution and hold it in your mouth as long as possible, spit out don't swallow. Repeat during the day. Before bedtime do it again. Worked for me within hours.
Taking pain pills drinking lots of water and taking medicine they gave me for a infection
@@Jadeddoxy Not a good idea at all!
@@ticks4ticks4 aw man 😭
@@Jadeddoxy Yes; you don't want to drain any dental abscesses by yourself! Doing so may actually make your gums more prone to infection! This should be done by a licensed physician or dentist-if the need is determined. Sometimes, the dental abscess doesn't need draining, but rather, an appt. w/a dentist for removal; & an oral antibiotic in the meantime-& an extra round of antibiotics-at the discretion of dentist-will suffice. [Note: if the wait for a dentist is too long, then see a general practitioner for Rx-strength ibuprofen & antibiotics.]. They may/ or may not/ prescribe: narcotics [e.g. Tylenol w/codeine #3 or #4 ; hydrocodone bitartrate w/acetaminopen or Hydrodone/APAP [that is: "Norco , Vicodin. Lortab"-usually they do NOT prescribe these types of meds anymore.].
I just had an abscess and I brushed my teeth with baking soda , then gargled with Colgate that has peroxide in it , then made a paste of baking soda with water and put it on my gums for 10 minutes , then used more of the mouthwash while the baking soda was still sitting and gargled another 5 minutes . Abscess gone ! Now I’m good to deal with the tooth issue until I see my dentist next week .
How is your tooth now x
@@S-jy4fd not one issue ever since . I did this once a day for a week and it was gone
@@destaneehoward thank you so much xxx
Did you eventually get scan done to see what was happening in the roots/gums to cause the inflammation in the first place?
People like this is why going to the dentist is hard.
Like what?
😂😂😂
I’ve done everything this dentist mentioned and some. I had a tooth pulled and a temporary bridge placed. I asked the dentist if I needed antibiotics and he told me I’ll be fine. Well, I’m not fine. I went to my Drs to get amoxicillin prescribed and almost passed out at her office (dental office was on vacation). I ended up at the hospital 3 times, heart rate spiking feeling super weak, light head, severe pain like I’m going to pass out. Saw my dentist finally, told me to start taking Zpak since amoxicillin didn’t work. Today is day 5 of the zpak and The huge abscess hasn’t gone away or the symptoms. Something I tried that temporarily numbed it is placing a fresh piece of ginger to the sight. It’s all scary, painful and frustrating. At this point I’ve done everything and I’m praying for God to heal me and heal whoever reads this. May it be his will, in Jesus name, Amen 🙏🏼
Hope you’re feeling better I just had an infected tooth pulled in January 4 and they put some stitches in so far so good
Hope you are feeling well. 🙏
Prayers to you 🙏🙏🙏 I too have a small Abscess tooth
That sounds like the onset of sepsis
@@stevenmichaelhaskins7922 it does. An emergency room visit may be needed
I’m crying because I don’t know know what to do! 😭 I’ve always had teeth problems and I hate it…
Do you consume much sugar?
What ended up happening?
What ended up happening?
Same like me from the early age 😢
What's so sad, is back in the day the dentist would pull this tooth out, but now they send you to a surgeon where you have to pay over $1000. What a scam. 🙄
Is it a scam to be toothless?
@@chrisjohns8887it’s a scam that it costs $1000 for ONE implant
ALL AMERICAN DENTISTS ARE MONEY MACHINES... Try Mexican Dentists... They are Doctors, not thieves with Medical Certificates.
Worst pain I’ve ever had. Over broken bones, torn muscles, getting shot in the hand. Abscess tooth is no joke
Worst pain 😢😢😢 I am dealing with one right now from a medication.
Can concur.
My mom had an abscess tooth that the pain was so bad she tried to pull out the tooth herself which made the pain even worse.
I’ve birthed two children and I prefer it over this pain. Agony doesn’t even describe what I’m feeling. Getting to a dentist today, i hope they get this tooth out of me.
@@QU33N_CASSIts better to get some antibiotics first,If you remove the tooth with a pus bag it could burst into your system and cause some complications..The antibiotics will stop the pain in afew hours or less .
Literally dealing with this now and it’s hell on Earth. Nothing but pain that you can’t even sleep away.

The pain is absolutely excruciating, it sort of hammers rhythmically with your pulse!
Omg you best described it I keep telling my husband it feel like a heart beat sometimes

Hello .. I enjoyed this video. A few years ago I had a root canal and last year the tooth became infected again. I didn't notice right away because the root canal took away the nerves but there was a lump on my chin
I was advised it needed to be extracted so I went to the dental office that did the root canal. My doc there told me a tooth has two roots and only one was infected on this tooth. He said I could have a "Root Amputation" and just remove the infected root leaving the tooth intact.
So this is what he did. The infected root was removed and now the tooth is anchored by only one root. And the area where the infected root used to be was filled with bone graft.
I just had my one year check up. The tooth is doing well and the bone graft has solidified. I am very careful with the tooth and make sure not to chew anything too hard with it. I am really happy with result. The tooth was saved !

I had an abscess on a molar that had a root canal done 8 years ago and that was the worst freaking pain of my life. It started on a Friday and Saturday morning the dentist gave me Amoxicillin and ibuprofen 800mg listen that did nothing for me the pain got worse! From Saturday night to Sunday morning I was crying and screaming in pain with a swollen cheek! Found a dentist open on Sunday and begged them to remove my molar. They agreed and the minute my molar was extracted all the pus and pressure is gone and I feel soooo much better. Finishing up my antibiotics and I’ll be getting a (flipper) and then getting my implant. I had no idea that an abscess in your tooth could hurt that much and it should be illegal for emergency rooms not to have a dentist on staff cause it was a mission to find a dentist on the weekend!!!
That's great to hear from you. I have an abcess and I am extremely relieved to hear that the treatment procedure isn't painful.
Amen! Lying awake in pain. Can’t get it removed yet because my mouth is swollen shut. When the swelling goes down, then they can do the procedure. Who knew this could hurt worse than child birth.
completely agree that there should be a dentist available in emergency rooms~
How have you been feeling since then after your molar tooth removal?
@@mireyarodriguez8306 I got dry socket in mine after extraction...the removal of it and the placing of gauze in the wound makes most grown men cry ill just say that!!!!
Just had an abscessed molar yanked yesterday. Cracked tooth at a weird angle that didn't even show up on x-rays. Dentist thought that i might have "bruised" the tooth. No abscess back a month ago but this last weekend the pain returned and my left check just blew up. It's a special kind of pain. It was amazing how fast it happened once it got going. First thing in the morning to the dentist. Drained it and got me referred to a Oral Surgeon. They had a 10 AM cancellation and the tooth was out by 11 AM. So grateful to have the pressure and pain gone. Now just recovering and then get scheduled for an implant. once healed up.
Good luck!
Had over 50 of these in 5 years, 3 to 4 at a time and used to pop them myself with a needle I'd rinse with alcohol. Yup now I'm here with 26 teeth remived waiting for dentures, people don't ever leave them. I urge you see the dentist straight away
What else was wrong with your teeth though? and did you sterilize the needle before you poked them?
Lol lies
@@Alrightvibe how to sterilize? Can I use a wooden tooth pick to pop ?
Just had an abscessed tooth out yesterday. It’s been bugging me for months. So glad it’s out. Not enjoying seven days of strong antibiotics but glad to have gotten rid of the pain. Severely dental phobia

Was it painful? And was your face swollen? I’m going to dentist tomorrow
That's awesome ! Tooth pains are the worst !!!!!
What treatment did you do
Was you cheek swollen too?
One word...BENADRYL. You may be sleepy for a few hours after you take it, but it WILL get rid of the swelling, pain, and infection. The pus from the infection is nothing more than poisonous mucus. The benadryl is made to help sinuses (a lot of it is controlling mucus). It worked for me within 20 minutes. Knocked the pain out QUICK, took down the swelling, and after 2-3 days passed, the abcess was still gone.
I’m doing this thank you hope you not playing ❤
Have you had any check up since? Can give us update please.
Thank you
update
Did you say it got rid of the abscess because I'll do anything i can to keep my body from being poisoned. I have my first abscessed tooth and it's scaring the hell out of me I'm sitting here thinking I'm going to die.
@Mr.Robbie34 If the abcess is in the root of the tooth, you will need a root canal. Or just get the tooth pulled.
I've had two children.But the pain from a tooth abscess I had a few years ago was worse than childbirth Excruciating 😱😱
Your comment scares me 😱 straight to brush and floss my teeth 🦷 every single day twice a day!
She’s not lying 😭😭😭😭
@@PraveenSrJ01 Please continue to floss and brush daily! Having a tooth abscess was truly the most excruciating pain i’ve ever experienced! Wouldn’t wish that pain on my worst enemy.
Damn, i had abcess 3 times and its wearing me down lol
@@johnpen269 That's horrible I feel for you. I hope you get it sorted soon 💐
I wonder why is this a big problem in the western countries when in east asia most people experience a swollen jaw due to dental abscess but people doesn't really undergo surgery they only take medicine or herbs and it heals, most of the people I know and my sister experienced it she didn't even went to dentist for extraction or surgery now after years she still okay with no pain.
our common remedy if not herbs is extraction m after that we never go back to dentist for the same tooth.
What did she use to heal it. ? Thanks
Why does it feel like dentistry is still stuck in the dark ages. I love how he says there are multiple ways to treat it when it basically comes down the typical same old two options; root canal which is hit and miss and then tooth extraction wher3 you have a giant gap.
Most dentists are stuck in the dark ages, but not all...
The Weston Price foundation can point you in the direction of a probably good dentist.
This guy, while well intentioned is giving a good deal of bad advice.
I think bout that all the time. I've got a rear molar thats disintegrating that's become a project as to how long I can keep it and a molar on the other side that developed an abscess on the other side that started after a filling on that tooth. It's been 5 yrs and it only gives me a problem one in a while.As I've lose faith in all local medical options, it won't be treated until either have no other choice, or else move away from this shithole. From my experience, the abscess isn't in the tooth, but rather below it.
@@ravenbarsrepairs5594 Its a similar situation to me. I had a filling done on my tooth and then months afterwards developed an abcess, which keeps recurring every several months. Have you noticed what seems to trigger a flare up of your abcess? I'm convinced chewing something tough starts mine off.
@@acquiesce100 bread tends to set mine off. I've been kind of following a primal/paleo diet for years, which I was lead to due to it's similarities to the heal tooth decay diet. I haven't seen any real healing, but my dental problems have stabilized. If I add bread back into my diet, it flares up. Being dehydrated also makes it worse.
@@ravenbarsrepairs5594 Interesting.I'm convinced Tuna or Chicken which really has to work my Jaw has something to do with it. Of course, the dentists dismiss it. So if I do have chicken or Tuna, it's in very small pieces and i soften it down. I didn't think about the dehydration angle. Will keep an eye on that. It's so frustrating.
I had a pus filled bump on my gums next to a previous root canal for several weeks. Went to the dentist and he said I needed an extraction because the root canal was not done well and could not be fixed. I used a chlorine dioxide and DMSO solution on it for about ten days and the bump was greatly diminished. Went back and told the dentist that I was treating it and didn't want the extraction. He showed me the previous x-ray where the infection was visible and said it could get much worse. Then he took a new picture and after looking at it, he turned and said "What you're doing is working". The bump is totally gone now and I know the infection is gone.
Thank you !!
Can you please explain your regime with that from start to finish. How long. ? Frequency of treatment? How is it today?
Yes please share regime!!
@@natalychavez1493 I replied to you and the previous guy to the question but both were deleted because the subject is too controversial for YT.
@@quakerlyster Can you PM me the regimen?
You do NOT need antibiotics unless you suspect sepsis - bacteria in blood stream, high fever, risc of death.In such a case you need hospital a blood test to reveal which antibiotic is relevant . Until then you either get the tooth extracted or a root canal has to be initiated. Important the tooth is symptom free and any fistula /abscess is gone before root canal is filled. Loads of teeth have been prematurely filled based on symptom freedom due to antibiotics and NOT due to a successful endodontic treatment /root canal filling.
Very rare patients need antibiotic treatment in dentistry .
I disagree 100%
You need antibiotics if the abscess is due to bacteria. 🙄
@@stevesmith1493 same. Antibiotics when you are in so much pain, helps kill the infection and pain.
I had a tooth abscess one Christmas, the dentist gave me a numbing injection (that hurt more the the damned abscess) then he incised the gum and used a suction machine to remove the pus. Horrible experience, but when I walked out of the dentist office I could close my jaw and teeth 🦷 together without being in agony. The oral antibiotics worked well, but I had a low grade temp for a couple of days, loss of appetite for 6-7 days.
Had root canal work done and the tooth has been fine since.
Anyone suffering from an abscess now has my sympathy and I hope they feel better soon. These abscesses are total bugers! 😢
Similar story but on new years day🥴
Do you lose the tooth or do the antibiotics help
@@chotu5781 Go and see a dentist as soon as possible. It will not go away on it’s own.
@@johnnycage435 I, personally didn’t have to have an extraction. The antibiotics worked well, and it was approx 3 months after I had root canal work done. I have had no problems since. Each person is different, as are their teeth 🦷
@@chotu5781 if you still have problems perhaps you should go back to the dentist
I had absolutely gorgeous teeth two years ago ( my parents spent a fortune on an expander, braces, etc..) I have always brushed after each meal and flossed twice a day. But in 2020, I was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer and underwent months of Chemo & Radiation. I beat it (Hooray❤️) but then my teeth became my enemy. It started with my front tooth cracking one day. I hadn't eaten anything hard, there was no trauma, the tooth just cracked, and a week later it totally broke off. After that I got an abbsess, and was given antibiotics. The pain went away, and I was in college full time so I just ignored it. BAD CHOICE, over the next year a a half almost all my teeth have broken off, decayed, and became infected. I've been on antibiotics over a dozen times. Unfortunately, no one takes my Medicare ( I am on SSDI) & I have no dental insurance and the free clinics around here have over a year waiting list.
I am writing this for two reasons,
1. If I had had that front tooth pulled ( even if I had to do it myself) I wouldn't be in this position.
2. It's pathetic that here in the U.S. so many people still die every year from a tooth infection!
Questions:
1. Do Chemo and Radiation affect your teeth?
2. Do cavities really spread?
Thank you.
Cancer can have a negative effect on your teeth and tooth infections can spread around your body if left untreated for too long
💯 cancer treatments are poison to the body, not just the cancer. To answer your question...yes.
WooooooW @Angelhaycock6928 sounds like your telling my story. Glad you went into remission. I myself had Ovarian Cancer and am in remission 9yrs now. 🙌🏾🙌🏾 Before Cancer happened I was a victim of scam. A dentist used my fathers medicare to do unnecessary work for insurance. It's so unfortunate they really don't understand the pain they're putting us through and the confidence goes down, people treat me like I'm a drug addict. I hate it.
Read "Cure Tooth Decay" book
Radiation and chemo is known to rot the enamel and jaw bone.
I had an abscess occurred under one of my front teeth about 7 months after snapping my tooth in half and getting it repaired, it spread to the tooth next to it as well. I couldn’t sleep for like 48 hours and I never want to experience that torture ever again,
Chewing on a garlic clove helps tremendously with tooth pains, it is also a very effective natural antibiotic. You don't have to swallow the garlic, just spit it out and rinse after chewing.
It works, though not as good as a coconut oil pulling.
@@simhifree2416 I'll have to try that
Some guy in the comments claim this can cause ulcer so be careful guys
@@Blahbah do not try this
@@nicolette1598 Thanks, Dude.
i never seem a dentist cure anything. real talk. thy mostly are just surgeons.
Take a spoon of a baking soda ( the one for baking only );
One cut of warm -cool like water
Mix it all together & rinse your mouth with it for about 2-5 min ..
I know it’s take little bit of time but trust me it really helps to take horrible pain away !!
Currently dialing with tooth abscess so it’s really helps ..
& of course gonna visit dentist soon!!
Hopefully this helps to all of you !!
Wish you health & happiness ! Gods bless !!🤍
Thanks abesces over my left molar was so tight, it became so tight without relief. I brush my entire teeth with peroxicare deep clean by arm and hammer then apply warm salt 💧 relief try took my precribe amocillion and ibuprofen... next a follow up with a spoon of baking soda to a glass of very warm water ...it came to head..POW the yoke it broken...relief ....Thanks! Now to numb and pack it for tonight. 😊 again. I am scheduled to have it removed in two weeks 🙃. Change of oral care along with soft meals is mandatory for while..
baking soda Should be safe for teeth🤔 but my dentist told me to rinse with salty water once every 50 mins … yet I googled that salty water for too often would damage teeth🤔
I've tried everything that bloody apse will not go away it doesn't pain been 2 weeks now been on medication for 2 weeks . Infection still not gone been on amoxicillin 1000 mg twice a day still nothing
Rinsing your mouth with warm salt water helps a lot.
That's what my now late mum would do for me ❤
my daughter had tooth pain and a little abscess forming guess what completely took the pain away and helped her abscess? I mixed cold pressed raw coconut oil with TUMERIC and I rubbed it all over her teeth and gums . put alil on her toothbrush and brushed her teeth with it . also made her swish it in her mouth (it is called oil pulling) . .for one minute and then we rinse, and brush her teeth as usual afterwards. took it away almost instantly . I also rotate that with baking soda and peroxide paste ...morning and night followed by a regular brush to get rid of the taste since it really bothers her. took it completely away!
Can you share the ratio how much tumeric ans coconut oil to mix? Thank you currently dentist wants to extract my childs tooth but I really want to try and see ir I can get rid of the infection. It's funny how they didn't give me any other choice besides pulling the whole tooth out
This dentist said the word "NASTY" too many times! Like if he is disgusted to treat people with dental problems. Why he became a "dentist" in the first place! SMH! Where is his COMPASSION? It's terrible when you can't trust your caregiver! And the home remedies he mentioned were like an afterthought. It feels like we are still in the DARK AGES regarding DENTISTRY and other health care areas. SMH! (shaking my head x1000)
.
By personal experience, in order to prevent and/or cure gingivitis and/or an abscess, you can use a WATERPIX MACHINE, add a tablespoon of BAKING SODA to the water, and clean the area between the gums and the teeth to destroy the bacteria colonies.
.
Also, you can do WARM SALTY WATER GARGLES or COCONUT OIL SWASH in order to cleanse or medicate the mouth, throat, and teeth to help eliminate the trouble-maker bacteria.... because BACTERIA is the dental problem we must fight!
.
Hope this commend helps someone. Dental Problems can happen to anybody, being for lack of knowledge or help.

Nasty is a word to describe nasty unfortunately
Really good video. My complaint is, I established myself with a local cooperate dentist. I got an abscess. Called my dentist because the pain came on fast and was unbearable. They wouldn't take me in as an emergency but said they would get me in in two weeks! I called around trying to find another dentist to see me. No one would establish me as a new patient because they were so booked up and busy. I ended up driving 45 minutes to another small town to be seen by a new office of dentist to get help and spending $6000 out of pocket to deal with this.
You got it fixed right
Was it more than one tooth? Why did it cost so much? Just asking because I had to pay $1500 out of pocket for a root canal and crown.
@@MelModica Root canal can get infected. Crown need to be replaced too once in awhile
Should have gone to the ER
Dentist be ripping people off man. Be careful
Most people watching this video will be in oral agony. The presenting doctor could have made this video without giggling most of the way through it. In short, visit your dentist.
I thought the same thing because I AM in oral agony. Did not appreciate all the laughing.
He is a complacent frat boy. Not amused.
Because he enjoys every minute of your pain
Oral Agony sounds like a bad porn

This guy has never had an abscess tooth. You can tell by the way he shrugged off the pain.
Dealing with a rather nasty one myself. Gotta dentist appointment to get it examined tomorrow
@@isaiahdorsey8842 keep me udated plz
He talks like it's a good thing 😂
He talks like it's a good thing.
What the dentists won't tell you , gargle with warm salt water and gargle cold pressed organic raw coconut oil helps as well. I'm suffering through an abscess right hand it is the most excruciating pain I've ever had and I've had 2 children! My entire face is swollen I go to get it pulled out in a day but I'm scared cuz I'm in such pain and I know it'll be worse after they mess with it. Everytime I go to any dentist they purposely leave little Nick's in my teeth that cause cavities and stains. I don't trust them . I never had a single cavity until I was 31 years old and now I have abt 10 or more and I take care of my teeth! The best part is the tooth I have an abscess on has already had a root canal and crown! I should not be having this severe problem. I went to dental school and was a dental assistant so I know how they keep u coming back.
How are you doing now?
@@JodyMorgan0220 Hi, I am much better now that they pulled that tooth. It wasn't as bad as I thought just to pull it but I still had swelling and pain for a week afterwards. Now Im just waiting for the hole to close up and wondering why they didn't stitch it shut cuz everything I eat gets in it then I have to gargle with salt water to get it out. What a complete racket! Thanks for asking! God bless you.
@@kellynh9303 I'm so glad to hear you are okay. And thank you for replying. I got a filling a couple weeks ago and now I am just getting the swollen cheek so now they're telling me they need to go back in for a root canal. I just want it pulled.
@@k.k8000 Aww thank you as well. I used to be a dental assistant and medical assistant, they only care Abt money. It's hard to find a dentist that doesn't and puts your needs first .I finally found one and she told me I could go get a 2nd root canal on the tooth I just had pulled but seeing my face swollen with an abscess she said I'm sure you just want it out and gave me a referral to get it pulled. It's still healing so I have to swish with pink Himalayan salt Everytime I eat since food gets stuck in there but it's not killing me anymore Thank God! I will never go through a root canal again after having one and the tooth still getting infected and needing to be pulled but this was a molar in the back so if it was a front tooth I would have felt different. It's all up to you if you feel comfortable getting a root canal ,it's a lengthy procedure, mine took 2 hrs and was fine for 5 yrs before it became infected. I do wish you luck with your decision and I'm praying for you to be at ease and pain free. God bless you 🙏❤️ Ice packs help with the swelling, no heat that makes it worse. If it's still hurting tell your dentist and get pain meds prescribed. They're usually very stingy with them but will prescribe 800 Motrin or antibiotics that help. I'm really into oil pulling with raw organic coconut oil cuz it reverses cavities and dental issues but you have to be consistent and do it every day . I usually forget so of course I have to go have cavities filled next month . I'm trying to oil pull more often and see if it'll really heal my cavities without going to the dentist a million times for cavities they caused by leaving tiny Nick's in my teeth . Anyway going luck . I hope it works out for you 💕
@@k.k8000 Your are absolutely stunning ❤️if your still having to pay out of pocket and the tooth isn't visible or in front the cheapest option is to have it pulled.
My abscess was "under my molar" and they extracted it. It felt so so so good when they got it loose and pulled the tooth iut, I felt the firbres ripping (not a bad sensation) and they cleaned it out and put some sort of gel in the hole and got on a 3x 500mg amox 10 regiment. It feels so good now... I'm thankful.
Thank God these abcess treatment procedures aren't *"painful"* in any way. I was extremely nervous because I have an abscess and will be getting it checked out soon.
@@zacktyler2810 Well, it's not painful, you just feel a sensation, neutral imo. its just the ligaments that ripped are pulling past the gum, but after it hurts for maybe.. 6-7 hours and just take acetaminophen, or hydro if needed, just a 5mg one though, it really isn't too bad!
What did you do with your toothless gum (the hole after the tooth extraction)? Im afraid
I'm not sure how a root canal, killing the root of a tooth, actually saves it. The tooth is dead without the root, the crown is just put in place to try to save the shell of the tooth. Pyrogenium is a homeopathic remedy for deep infections, septic infections, bone infections and fevers. I'm currently using it, my tooth hasn't flared up in over a year but i want to kill the infection, also using another method. So far so good.
I have a poorly done crown from almost 20 years ago which causes me periodic problems. There is an infection, but what I do to keep it in check is eat raw garlic. I'll mince fresh garlic cloves and sprinkle it on some suitable dish like past, chili, pizza, etc. Within a day or two, the pain is completely gone, and it usually remains gone for SEVERAL weeks. It helps that I love garlic. I suspect the anti microbial properties of the garlic are helping to kill the bacteria.
I did the same. But one day i got another sickness on which my immune system focused on and abcess nourished then. Better visit dentist
You made no mention of dental probiotics. Such products vary in effectiveness because of different formulations with different brands but in general they are effective in crowding out the infection-causing pathogens. In some cases a tooth that seems like it must be extracted can stay permanently after the infection dissipates in response to dental probiotics.
Where can one get dental probiotics?
@@kathylittle3900, Amazon... I found one most recently called Riven that is a mouthwash with (supposedly) live probiotics in it. Developed by a dentist they say. Seems to work well. Before that I tried quite a few others. Only one that seemed good was one called Bionaze. That's a tablet you let dissolve in your mouth... The mouthwash one seems to be effective though
Thank you Joe
I just went to the dentist today after waiting for 96 hours in excuciating pain for an appointment. When the dentist looked in my mouth she confirmed what I thought, I had a big abscess. She took an xray and told me the infection was too far gone for root canal and the tooth would have to come out. However, I actually could not believe that she sent me away without treating me. She asked me to make another appointent for a check -up, treatment plan and a scale and polish. The receptionist told me I could not be seen until 27th April. This is only 7th February. Dentist told me she is the only dentist and she has 23000 patients. I am totally shocked that someone with an abscess and in pain was sent away without being treated.
I’m really sorry 😞 that happened to you
If they do this to me i’m leaping off a bridge. No way i’m dealing with this for more then a week.
Lol I'm very close to that trust me had one for a month now and can't get seen by dentist, turned away by hospital, every time I try and pin it seems to get worse or my mouth is hard to open now

I've needed to go for months but I don't have insurance and have lost my job. I had 2 weeks of severe pain. The pain is gone now but I have swelling on my gum around the tooth. Sometimes it feels like I have a huge rock in my mouth. It cracked and decayed a long time ago. It's definitely a abscess now.
Fun huh I don't have insurance either at dentists are really expensive
Had a tooth abcess on me last night
I am in the upper middle part of Maine called the emergency room in Bangor
They said there is nothing that they do for dental issues can prescribe antibiotics but will need to wait until dentist office opens Monday
Went online and searched there is no dental care in Maine on the weekend
The lack of knowledgeable dental care providers up here is really scary and the fact that hospital emergency rooms don't even have access to give care for dentistry in 2022 is pretty unbelievable
I called my primary care and they are calling in an antibiotic to start me on and will be at the dental emergency clinic Monday first thing when they open
This pain is awful
Thank you for the informative video
I've found that doing coconut oil pulls are extremely effective in killing bacteria.
Hi Simhi... can I ask how often is good do coconut oil pulls ?
I have heard about coconut oil pulling
One of the best natural treatments ive come across, is tumeric powder dissolved in water..strong solution. swish 10mins at least. takes inflammation and pain down. Also ,wheatgrass powder, do same thing..works wonders. Make sure strong solution...like nearly 1tsp in a mouthfull of water. Also, as a natural antibiotic...oliveleaf extract works well.
My dentist initially said I needed a root canal....Now she says I have an abscess at the gum-line, and recommends a deep cleaning, the root canal has been called off.
Update pl
I can’t believe you didn’t mention a salt rinse.
Cloves will kill the nerve. They work if its your nerves. It doesn't work for a abscesses.
I've been to my present dentist twice in the past 5 years. I call them, The Make Work Dentist. I go in for something simple like a cavity fell out with no pain and end up with a root canal. I go in for a chipped molar with no pain and end up with a crown on that one, now with pain, and a crown on the root canal tooth. I have had an abscess for years and I never went in to have it checked because I don't trust the dentist. They say I need a root canal from a specialist that will cost me $3700 out of my pocket. I just don't have the money. Insurance but no money. Forced retirement for 13 years and living on Social Security. Ever since I saw them three months ago, I have had a severe neck problem. Had an ear infection a month ago but I thought that might be from my new hearing aids. Even the way they handle me feels like I am on an assembly line. I just don't trust them.
Most Dentist charge a lot - they have a High over Head- they have many technicians working for them .. some would say overpriced.
And besides - they have to Outsource the Dental Work to a Lab . Cause most Dentist DO NOT HAVE A Lab. More $$ CHARGED - to You .
Try colodial silver to get rid of if.
Did u have abscess for more than a year? Can we leave it as it is if doesn't hurt.? Pls reply
To those suffering with this and possibly embarrassed by the situation, don’t worry. The dentist you go to will be trained to deal with this and being that you are a paying client, will give you the dignity you deserve. This guy is really unprofessional.
I had this, it was leaking puss and blood every 2 days, fixed it by storing listerine in my mouth for 15 minutes right after a fresh wound. used listerine twice every day and pushed at my tooth absess with listerine in my mouth so puss would come out and negative pressure would suck listerine into the wound. has been a month and no more tooth absenss. there is still a cavity under my tooth filling thou. I tried salt water, needle to drain absenss, which was not permanent , only reduced absenss size for 2 days.
i had a bad molar removed a couple years ago, even after that the abscess returned. nothing much you can do but just take a a needle and pop/drain it. It didn't hurt much, helped the swelling go down.
Sugar absolutely flares up my abssess
How?... You mean normal sugar?
Im sure thats exactly what they mean.....i just left the er cause one flared up on me outta nowhere i thought oh it eill go away maybe but it got bigger in 24 hrs and i got scared .....diet plays a big part....i was to scared to get it drained tonite but i have to go back for x rays then i will have to face the truth ...so im guees ing i gitta get it drained firsrt and then they do the tooth surgery....smh im over it ...i dont like needles or the dentist @wannaakpan1489
My mom would get abcess often. She got to a point where in her early 50s opted for full teeth removal and now wears dentures. Her opting for this a decade ago motivated me to start seeing my dentist 2-3x per year. Im in my 40s and fortunately never had an abscess.
Update for people who haven’t tried this : had a boil on my gum for a few years and could pop it daily and it would come back. I literally used some garlic and put it on my gum for about half hour, 20 mins maybe and I’m not kidding I burned my gum have myself a massive ulcer where the boil was. when the ulcer went the abscess/boil was gone. Just to be clear expect crazy pain when putting the garlic directly onto the infected area. It means it’s killing it for you. Stick it out
is it for real cuz i have a boil on my gum everytime I pop it..it comes back so should I try this?
@@kittylifyyy yeah ain’t no joke. It hurts tho just as a heads up. You’ll definitely end up with an ulcer but that heals and the boil goes.
@@kittylifyyy boil on my gum was so annoying. Could feel it on my gum. Especially after a fizzy drink or like alcohol it would seem to be more noticeable. Garlic kicked it’s ass
Interesting, gonna look into this. My “mouth pimple” went away after like 3 years of dealing with it. Two days later I’m dying with pain! I’m guessing bc I can’t drain it anymore. Fuck me! 🥴
@@zjedinite garlic will sort it out
My tooth was abscessed for the dentist said it wasn't because my cheek would be all swollen up. You can tell it was abscess because there wasn't a cavity but it hurt when you put pressure on it with your finger and bite.
Your title says "cure" an abscess tooth, what was the cure? I only heard you talk about temporary measures or pulling the tooth?
You ended the video by saying "None of these can cure a tooth abscess",i mean,if none of them is a cure,even extracting the tooth,then what is?
So the abscess is retained even after extraction of the infected tooth!I dont get it.
BS yes, your body can heal itself from even serious infections like this... it depends on various factors, but blanket saying that
"No, your body cannot heal itself from a dental abscess, and I need a new Ferrari and my practice is only making $4.5M a year so you've gotta pay me to do major dental surgery without even trying a course of antibiotics, then my daughter needs a better HOUSE, so I'm going to tell you that a major bone graft is needed, that will be $18,500. Now get out of my office and don't come back here with excessive post-surgical bleeding, and don't bleed on the floor."
All of these things absolutely, genuinely, happened to me, no shxt
What’s also confusing is I’ve seen medical journals state they can use soley antibiotics so I am confused by his words also. However I think issue and btw I am so scared is dentists so I’m on your side lol…but he’s right u have to get a root canal Atleast or get it pulled as u won’t have an access typically unless u have a cavity or something that could assumably expose the nerve. One issue and this is confirmed to me by my friends sister who is a dentist…for free healthcare ppl they do shit jobs so…be wary of that :/
Hello, I am panicking right now because I read that a tooth infection can lead to sepsis and death. I got an infection 3 days ago, I have a big swelling on my face, yesterday I went to my dentist here in Graz, Austria. he cleaned the tooth, applied medicine and prescribed antibiotics to fight the infection. I feel much better and have no problems or pain, but I am still very anxious. I was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder a year ago. HELP ME PLEASE 😩🙏
i just read the news from 2017 that a dental abscess killed a 26 year old from california. now I'm even more scared.
Oh geez so I have legit same issue as u I have severe anxiety and an abscess and I’m also freaking out thinking I’m gonna get sepsis as well…I also live in California so sigh…really unfortunate to hear of this death
For my abscessed teeth, I used vodka to swish on it, I use garlic cut in half placed RIGHT ON THE TOOTH. Also... try gum for a "cap"
Tequila 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😜
Geezus u ppl are hardcore 😂
Did it go for good x
What helped me a lot is applying honey to the tooth and the gum on top of the tooth
the comment section is more useful than the video itself. here is what i have gathered from what i have read here as well as elsewhere. to get rid of the abscess, you need to get rid of the bacteria. in order to do that the 2 ways are through amoxicillin and another method is oil pulling. im currently having swollen gums bottom left under the 2nd or 3rd molar. just saw the GP and she gave me amoxicillin and mentioned that this antibiotic is especially good for gum related bacterial issues. at the same time ill be coconut oil pulling 4 times daily. just hope this abscess/swelling will be history very soon. the feeling sucks!😪😪p.s. painkillers just subside the pain TEMPORARILY. it will come back soon after. reason? the bacterium are still having a party in your gums dats y. expel the bacteria and the swelling will be a thing of the past
Did it end up working that you didn’t need the tooth pulled?
Did oil pulling help get rid of abscess?
I love how this guy laughs at the mention of pain. Lol
Here's something to think about. I have had a swollen area at the base of a molar for a few years. When I finally went to a dentist, who I don't trust, they did a cleaning that I call a Power Washing. I think it's a water jet that gets under the gums. Since then, the swelling has been a lot less, but my neck has been very sore and radiates into my head when I bend over or sneeze. It's terrible when you can't trust your caregiver.
You should definitely avoid going to any dental health care professional then. That will solve all your trust issues (eyes rolling).
@@susanmetz9892 My Point is, don't just think that anybody is a "Highly trained professional, they Must know what they are doing." THINK, for yourself. Use your own Common Sense and Logic. If something doesn't sound right, it may not be right. There have been Make Work professionals throughout All industries. Just because it's health related, doesn't mean they are all saints. Followers won't agree with me on that.

@m v My hygienist power washed my gums and after that the infection was half. I horizontally brushed so the bristles would ran out any dirt and soaked the area with hydrogen peroxide. It's almost gone and didn't need a $5000 root canal. 'Make Work Dentist.
@@JB91710 thank you I am going to try it.
I'm on methotrexate and my whole top set of teeth have weakened, cracked, crumbled and I've got open holes in my gums with bits of tooth still there. No dentist will see me, and I'm just left. Pain, taste, four abscesses at the moment and left to try and treat them myself.
That sounds horrendous 😢 hope you’re doing better now x
Oh great. I've a tooth that's chipped. I used Orajel Dental Gel Benzocaine 20% rapid toothache relief. To sooth it but it trapped something in the tooth and when i cleaned the infected tooth with a toothbrush it pinged off. Long story short. I had swelling felt sick. Had a Round hard lump underneath it and it was hot. It smelled bad in my mouth and used warm salt water to swill around my mouth that i spat out. I cleaned the tooth twice a day. Didn't see the pimple on my gum. I then treated it with a cold compress of ice in a plastic bag. It would hurt more if my mouth was open at night. Today the swelling has gone down but still a big lump underneath the big chewing tooth. I phoned a Hospital care line on sat and was told to call around my local dentist office's. They are all closed till Monday. ( With the pandemic ) there's a big backlog of dental appointments. So if i get seen i will probably have to pay for treatment. I thought it was getting better! As the swelling went down and the pain all but stopped. It's obviously not 😢 so if i can't get a dental appointment. I'm going to my ER room to get antibiotics and then get the tooth pulled out. I've had abscesses before but oh boy this one is 💥( owch ) I would recommend get a dentist appointment asap and don't let it get bad like i did
I have multiple broken teeth and get an abcess every year or two in different places, just cut into it and drain it, wash mouth out with very hot water. Otc pain relief does nothing. Inflammation is fine, your body uses it to fight the infection don't try to reduce it. Usually once you cut into the abcess and get as much fluid out as possible your body is able to fight off what's left assuming your otherwise healthy.
If you go on antibiotics finish the course even if you think it's completely cured and have pills left.
Im having abscess for over a year already. Thanks for the advice.
And you did not die, all this people want is extractions, implants, and thousands to their bank accounts

Regular teeth cleaning helps with this issue. Deep cleanings are effective as well.
Airflow cleaning rocks to get under the gums to clean . I need to get my teeth cleaning now you said this!
The worst pain I've ever experienced was my 2nd to last molar on my top right side. The top teeth hurt more imo because the pain pulses up into your head. Mine was horrible at night when trying to sleep. This pain was worse than when I got my appendix out.

Today September 2023 at 9:12 pm in South Africa I have an abscess at the exact same spot I'm getting it pulled tommorow
I had lead an abscess in an IT was get to the point where they pulled it at the dentist while it was infected and gave me post operative anabiotic’s and they did not stop it it ended up in my spine L1 and two are affected by osteomyelitis crippling me creating neuropathy in both legs so bad that my life changed in 2010 do not let those teeth go people the suffering I’ve undergone is unbelievable if I hadn’t experienced it myself
This is what I did to stop pain instantly drink some cold water and hold it on the tooth. I then got some ground ginger and clove spice like used in baking. Put a pinch of each together and mix. I Added some DMSO to make it work quick and made a paste and put it in around the gums by the bad tooth. I got relief in minutes.
Turns out it is actually more serious than what I thought it is
Now I decided to go to the dentist if the swelling doesnt relieve tomorrow
For now, good night.
What happened?
@@asor_0x got dental abscess and got so big that bothered me
Fortunately the swelling is now completely gone

I'm going tomorrow to get my tooth done I need a root canal tysm for clearing this up...
Back in 2017 I got a root canal done on one of my front tooth , today for about month now I have this periapical abscess looking thing on the same tooth I got the root canal done. It’s not painful unless i touch it and no swelling. Is my teeth reinfected? I’m seeing dentist soon, I just dislike dentist who provide unnecessary treatments just to make profit.
Yep and they do - most Dentist make Around $200,000 a Year a Dental Surgeon about 750,000 a Year or More . 🤔interesting Huh
Look into holistic dentist and watch root cause !
how to cure tooth abscess. just say i don't know lol. well i used papaya stem the liquid that is in the stem is applied to the abscess a few times bam gone. my mother thought me years ago.
Is it safe to remove the tooth when there’s prevalent swelling or would they normally wait to treat with anti-bionics before extraction to prevent bacteria spreading
What if you don't have money or insurance? I just die? Already went to ER and got antibiotics and it's already came back
Exactly. Dentists just tell you go get a root canal 🦷 (super expensive if u don’t have insurance). Idk what anyone can do without insurance 😢
Take a cotton ball soak it in peppermint extract and place it over your tooth. It helps cut the pain and brings down the swelling almost instantly.
Just tried this! I didn't have cotton balls but I used cotton swabs and it worked! I mean, I ended up popping it but it did still help with the swelling and pain
Like straight up essential oils?
Where the fuck you get that at
This is really dumb simply because the pain from an infected tooth is some of the worse you will ever experience, leaving it isn't an option. You have to treat it.
Omg I’m so scared I had a root canal done a week ago, and now I have a ball where the root canal was done 😔
I had a bridge done 11 years ago and last year up until today I'm experiencing pain and gum swelling and abcess come and go. Today had the bridge taken out and had anxiety attack.. My appointment was suppose to be 7th July '22 and thanks God the dental clinic got cancellation and my appointment was moved today/this morning. My dentist said that it's good that the infection didn't travel to my body/organ had chronic stage of infection and that freaks me out more. I will see my dentist regurly now as oral health is far more important.
You guys try the liquid Tylenol for adults .. the swelling will go down .. I’ll keep you guys updated !
Video Title: How to cure abscess teeth
Dentist in video: There is no cure. Having me rip your teeth out is the number 1 recommendation. All I'm hearing for solutions instead of legitimate self oral care advice. You can do regular appointments to get a thorough clean for your teeth as well as antibiotics. Your mouth can and will recover if you commit to high maintenance. I am not a dentist, but I speak from personal experience. I was lazy and didn't think my teeth would be susceptible to decay. But I ended up with cavities, gingivitis, and yes, even abscess teeth. Thankfully however, I made a comeback and although the cavity damage can't be undone (get them drilled and filled), they are stronger now.
I'm in a similar situation and wish I had known this sooner, unfortunately I already had the tooth pulled but I'll definitely keep this in mind if I ever have this problem again
I have dental flossed brushed all my life still go access. Still have teeth that break. It called age. Nothing last for ever.
I was told I need a root canal but why? I have spent so much money on failed crowns eventually getting tooth pulled.
Make sure you go to his office and give him your money
Exactly what happened to me, my top arch is now all on 6 because abscesses in different places of my top arch over the years busted parts of my bone and my front 4 all started to rock on the bone, back and forth and side to side, if I kept up hygienist 6 month cleanings and better home care I would have still had my natural upper arch. Huge lesson, and an expensive one. I already had a smile make over in 2008 with Lumineers for my top arch and they looked great because they are hard to clean too made it even more difficult combined with neglect so in Nov 2023 I lost my top arch and just had my temps fitted. Hygienist every 6 months people WITH0UT fail. Maybe 3 months to start with deep clean every 12 months
I used grapefruit seed extract pills but be careful if you take prescription meds because it may not be good to mix with certain prescription drugs

@@joydarling314 thanks so much for sharing 🙏🙏
I almost died from an abscess tooth. Cellulitis all thru my body from it. Do not put off getting rid of an abscess from a bad tooth.
Went 5 yrs with a lower tooth abcess that spread to my neck & jaw. I have permanent nerve damage in my jaw for life. Don't wait folks! Get that thing pulled!
Sadly a lot of people don’t have the money to go to the dentist. Very expensive. Even with insurance
I've had a pimple start showing up on my gums the last couple weeks. Its been popped about 4 or 5 times so far. pus comes out and then it appears to be gone.... But it keeps coming back. No pain or discomfort, but i'm guessing its an abscess.
I heard to not let it pop because the pus is bacteria that can spread quickly. I’ve had one for years that goes away for a long time with no issue. I should have gotten it pulled and replaced years ago. But it’s expensive. So I found being healthy is what keeps it away. When I’m eating fast food or candy it comes back. I let myself go and it just came back so I’m going to hit the vitamin c hard, garlic/lemon, tea, vegetables, and a good diet.
What did u take?
Mine was an abscess. I had to take Azithromycin anti-biotics for 7 days. 3 tablets a day to remove the infection. And then they performed a root canal, which was painless. I didn't feel anything.
In total it cost me about $200 because i am on vacation in Colombia. Dental work is very cheap here.
I took 40 days of antibiotics (amoxicillin) and it hasn't come back at all for the past two years...
wow. thats amazing. thanks for sharing.
Just curious, can a dental implant become infected? I have had one in for about 11 years, no issues, but I was just wondering do they generally last forever, without any infection or other major issues?
It can get infected like natural teeth but with good oral care it can last a very long time, it just doesn't develop cavities the way natural teeth can
Because I don't want the tooth to be extracted and it already has a root canal from years ago, I called my doctor and he gave me clindamycin. Why pull the tooth if an antibiotic will save it? I asked the dentist first for clindamycin and she said no because they didn't want to give patients too many antibiotics in a year. I asked my doctor and he has no trouble with me taking this drug 2-3 times per year if I'd rather go the antibiotic route if it comes back. And I've kept the tooth for a few years now since I was told to have it pulled. I had been given clindamycin earlier for this tooth when I went to the ER on a weekend so I wouldn't have been able to contact a dentist and it worked. My dentist did not even give me the option of taking an antibiotic. I think pulling the tooth is pretty drastic if medicine will take care of it.
I had no idea medicine can treat tooth infections, I know it can relieve pain but I didn't know it can stop the infection altogether. That's actually quite good to know. Did you get it looked at on an X ray? If so did the dentist tell you it was gone and you would only need a filling?
The problem is that the infection won't go away until the tooth is taken out or a successful root canal is performed. And, if you have chronic infections, it raises the risk of heart disease significantly. One study showed 2.7x higher risk of cardiovascular disease for people with hidden dental infections. Try looking at C reactive protein levels and see if you have low grade inflammation going on.
I’m In So much pain right now. The last 5 days have been very hard. Almost no sleep. The dentist said they don’t see an infection but when I was feeling around on my gums a little while ago I felt a spot that really got my attention near my wisdom tooth. It hurt but it ended up bleeding. My next dentist appointment isn’t until sept 28th ugh!
How did it went ?
How did it went ? & How are you now ?
Thank you so much doctor. What do I do to stop spitting out blood immediately I wake up in the morning and during brushing every day. God bless you.
Hello Doctor Nate. I had a teeth cleaning last Monday and the dentist said everything looked great. No cavities, no infections, everything was good. That following Thursday, my gums started swelling around the number 20 tooth. My pain got worse over the weekend. On Monday, I went to the dentist, and they said that I have an infection and that I should get a root canal. I didn’t have any cavities and no cracked teeth, but for some reason I got a gum infection. Also, I take good care of my teeth. The dentist thinks the cause of my infection is because of a “tooth defect.” There is this weird bump in the middle of my tooth. Somehow bacteria got into my gums and infected the very tip of my tooth. I also noticed that there was a pocket of pus in front of the affected tooth. Also, when I drink ice cold water, I don’t have any sensitivity. I really do not want to get a root canal because I’m only thirteen years old. I’m currently taking Amoxicillin. What do you believe the cause of my gum infection is?
dont get a canal, eat more fruit and exercise to increase blood flow it may drain itself dont brush too hard. Dentist dont like to use what actually is less invansive approaches like lazers, trust jesus not man
First of all you are a very well spoken 13 year old I see a bright future for u. Secondly do not worry too much it’s gonna be okay. I’m 30 and I was afraid of doing a lot of these things and now I have a host of issues so if they say do a root canal trust me…do it otherwise you’ll end up like me
teeth issues arise from bad nutrition or drugs. Brushing too hard isnt good either your way too young for a root canal. Avoid candy drink or eat alot more fruit build a healthy metabolism , chocolate is not good either, pizza wont hurt, but fruit juice such as grape juice or orange juice can reduce swelling over night have solid food with it
I have no advice, just need to pat you on the shoulder for being such an articulate 13 year old, you have an impressive dictation for someone your age.
