It looks small & white pusy. she's only mentioned it being painful when she was eating something that's when I looked otherwise she says it doesnt hurt. Discovered last night, Saturday now so wondering if I should take her to A&E 4 AB there is no emergency dentist near here or if it will be okay to leave it til monday for dentist? Any advice?

Hi...my dd3 has had absesses, what I would say is to gently put pressure on the absess to 'drain' it of pus, it relieves it and she will be fine until Monday, dd3 found this helpful although of course it tastes revolting, also give calpol or pain relief she will take....good luck!
