What could be done to keep an infected tooth intact without removal?
Patient: I have 5 teeth on bottom one is crowned and have a bridge. Abcess formed in one next to crowned. I thought it was crowned. Have no pain. Dr. wants to remove middle tooth due to infection but that leaves me with an open hole in middle. I had to stop taking antibiotica afer4 days and seems no more pus. Had no pain but bad taste. What to do? I don't know how to put another tooth in. Dentist says he can't, Doctor: HiThanks for asking Since it has abscess, and if the tooth is firm then you can go for an root canal treatment and teeth can be saved.
