Need some advice really..........
Saw out of hours dentist today who said I had a broken wisdom tooth and gave me antibiotics and told me to get in touch with a dentist.........
So
1.How long will the amoxycillin take to work? I have an abcess and its very painful :{

  1. Do I have to wait until I finish the antibiotics until they will remove it?
  2. Can they do that at the dentist?
  3. Is it going to cost me an arm and a leg? No one is taking on NHS patients where I live.
  4. I have been taking paracetamol and tramodol for the pain as its constant, any other suggestions? Can't have aspirin/ ibrufen because of crohns disease.

Thank you in advance

How's it going wannabe? I didn't make it to the dentist today, but I've been swilling with salt water because my pain is getting really bad. Maybe I'm having sympathy pains with you.

Have you tried to salt water? It really does help.

Are you nearing the time when you can be seen by a proper dentist? This is so bad you know. Feel for you.
