Possibility of a dental abscess ( no dental appointments till thurs so not sure atm). It started as very painful tender tooth yesterday, hurt to bite down etc, but that has gone now. Brushed gum as normal last night, woke up this morning and although pain is much less and biting down doesn't hurt, there is a lump / swelling on the gum. Didn't brush the area this morn and covered in bonjela. Should it be brushed or better off left alone? Might not even be an abscess but won't know that till thursday!
Thanks for any advice.
