Home Remedy for an Abscessed Tooth 

These are things that worked for me while I was in pain 1.warm saltwater 2. Ibuprofen (sometimes) 3. Orajel and other numbing ointments 4. Ice 5. Do not lay down flat sleep with your head elevated 6. Gargle the infected area with hydrogen peroxide as this will help with popping by the abscess after the tooth abscess has popped you will fill INSTANT RELIEF However none of these are permanent solutions you need antibiotics like amoxicillin and you must have the tooth pulled or a root canal or some form of dental work done if you are reading this and are in pain I wish you the best I know how much it hurts

I have a dream, to one day live in a country where greed doesn't come between need and qualified help. Thank you for this video, I am sorry it was necessary.

The fact that Medicare doesn’t cover dental shit is beyond me

Teeth are a major hassle.

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 had a really bad one and it started to get so bad my whole right side of my face was swollen & it was going to reach my eye & the pain was getting to the point I couldn't take it so I finally got to the hospital but they never want to do anything about dental so I told them either take a needle & suction it out or I will so they finally did and everything went away the next day like it never happened. People think bad teeth are strictly bad heigene but its so much more than that. It can be but it's also genetics, auto immune diseases, hereditary issues, being sick, etc..and once they are damaged it only gets worse. My teeth I didn't know were even bad till they would break. They looked like they rotted from the inside out..I also had many baby teeth all through my adult life & only two wisdom that came way later. I had hereditary gum disease so it appeared they were rotting inside out but it was at the gum line & below. Also my baby teeth were being crushed by my adult teeth leaving no room to clean, allowing cold dark places for bad bacteria to grow. I also have many auto immune diseases & hereditary issues. When I was 24 i had work done on my teeth, they were perfect and I ended up pregnant and had a rare disorder and became very ill the entire 9 months and my teeth were absolutely destroyed. I now have a mouth that looks like a bomb went off. I cant eat anything close to hard, I have to be careful of brushing (whats left) & of abscesses & sepsis but its also incredibly surprising because as far as what is left (i dont have the money to see a dentist) my gums literally just grow over and heal whats left. It can be painful at times but I think I may be so used to the pain over the years that its normal now. Now I'd need surgery on my jaw to remove all the pieces/roots . I think the thing im worried the most about is sepsis & not having any teeth at all as vain as that sounds... I mean it plays a huge roll in how the world treats you...jobs, friends, family, etc.. anyways i have talked way to long, thanks to anyone who stuck around.

Clove oil, y’all. Won’t fix it but will stop the pain. You’re welcome

I use a few things. A mix of peroxide and water is a good place to start. The peroxide turns the infection to a thick foam in your mouth and can reduce the pressure and pain and can help to clear it. Also Epson salts mixed with mater as a rinse/soak can also be good and draws out infection as well. You can literally fell the fluid from your gums mixing with the salt and water. After that a good brushing with baking soda followed by a rinse of apple cider vinegar.

if you ever decide to visit Fiji visit the dentist because it is under $ 20 dollars here in Fiji

Finally an honest dentist, if you pop The infection you will feel atleast 75% better!!!! Just be smart and use disinfected tools for the task, and take care of your wounds after

Tooth pain is harder to tolerate than most

I popped mine with a needle I sterliazised it before hand It hurt a little bit when i popped it but now it's gone and never came back. Oh and i also used baking soda and water that helped.

Thank you for the video, very Informative.😀

My dad is in icu from a abscess - the infection cut his airway off and he has had the tooth removed last week in the icu / he has has 2 more surgeries to drain the infection - last night they had to do the surgery in his neck as the infection spread down into his neck . He is intubated and sedated right now . This has been a life changing experience for my family . He is 83 years old and has always taken great care of his teeth. . He went to ER OVER A WEEK AGO THINKING IT WAS HEART FAILURE - his tongue immediately swelled up so big he couldn’t breathe . I’m so worried about him .

In all seriousness, I truly appreciate this video. I legitimately cannot afford to have my current abscess fixed. I'm saving up to get it dealt with, but I was desperate to find any reliable source for a home remedy to treat any of these awful symptoms 😢 🙌 ❤ 🙌 ❤ 🙌 ❤ 🙌

I need a reliable dentist asap. I can't take this pain anymore. Plus it's triggering my sickle cell. I'm in the hospital a lot lately. May not attend my graduation since I can't smile. I can't count how many dentists I've been to just for them to not follow up.

Why’s he smirking! I don’t trust him

Thank you for holding up the teeth. If you hadn't during the entire length of the video I might've not known it was about dentistry. Possibly you could work for a Colgate commerical. Holding up the toothpaste box while introduction their wonderful, great, amazing, perfect, ideal and affordable product. 🤪😉 Otherwise thank you for the information.

thanks

Can it go away on its own?

I'm healed

My wisdom teeth have been broken off for 20 years or so, every now and then another little piece falls out, no problem... until about 2 weeks ago. Now I have an absess right next to it and I'm going to have to pop it because I can't open my mouth past a certain point. I have no insurance and they wanted a weeks paycheck just to look at it without even doing anything yet. Gotta do what I've got to do.

I have it accross 3 teeth but in the upper gum in the back on the right side dentist gave me antibiotics but said it wasn’t coming from my tooth but said nothing else it fucken hurts my face is swollen along with pain in my lymph Nodes. What js it or what’s done about it if it doesn’t pop ??

What's the difference between a abscess tooth that needs a root canal and one that needs to be pulled? I had an abscessed tooth that was infected at the root. One dentist wanted to do a root canal another dentist said that the tooth was dead and needed to be pulled. I had the tooth pulled but the root look brand-new like it was alive.

i can also rip tooth out if i need i have very bad neck jaw ear head and eye socket pain

My daughter is 3 year old and she is having so much pain i took her to the doctor and he just prescribed antibiotic my daughter have scheduled surgery on april 11 we have been waiting so long like 3 months I don’t understand why is the waiting our insurance already agree with everything. We just wating but one of her tooth is hurting bad . She is taking today antibiotics. The doctor told ne if her eyes get smaller take it her to the ER so what they will do? I’m just scare confused i feel terrible any help thank you

I have tooth abscess and a long time ago I think the abscess used to be bigger but got smaller and less painfull over time and it used to swell a lot but not anymore. The thing is I never did anything about it and it got better over time. Now, it’s not getting worse or better. It’s stayed the same for at least 5 months or more. What should I do? Matter of fact, I don’t know even know if it’s tooth abscess. All I do know is that I feel a little bump near my jaw area 🤔

Never do DIY surgery! You can cause far worse problems such as sepsis from the infection going into the bloodstream. This is why you go to a licensed dentist.

Would it be safe to remove the tooth without first draining the abscess or treating with antibiotics

I'm so ready at 32 to get all pulled and dentures. Genetics and a 12 yr bout of heroin use. I was blaming it on heroin... but no other addict had teeth like mine. I mean meth heads- their teeth rot from the outside in... ain't even seen any of theirs as bad as mine. Esp bc been sober 8 years- and GETS WORSE!!

Why am I too scared to pop it myself? How bad does it hurt?

Once a tooth is giving u problems extract it to avoid future pain. Idc how much a dentist says it can be saved. Once d filling comes bk out you’d be in a pain again. Extract tooth

I have alwayed use clove oils abscess gone and never come back very fast

Does a small Abscess hurt?

What if it’s from the gum? Then what is needed to eliminate the source exactly?

Speed works a treat, you can take that tooth out with a pair of rusty pliers, no bother! cheaper than a dentist for sure.

Just found out my gums have abscess after 1 month its really hidden The tooth is not sensitive no toothache or anything but the gums were swollen and have an abscess

is this a joke ? pop your own blister ? an abscess not treated correctly and asap can lead to life threatening complications .... i can't believe this has been uploaded.

My dentist said I have 3 abscesses last week and he said he will just leave them as my teeth are to fragile 😮 didn't offer antibiotics or anything just oh it's fine just keep brushing ur teeth ill leave the poisen in ur mouth !

I think my tooth infection is in my body now. Fever and chills. My insurance doesn’t cover anything dental. Doc wanted $400 up front to see me. I just don’t have that.

This guy is smiling like he has dupers delight. I don’t trust dentists at all, they care about one thing- money.

This video was not helpful ..already knew this

WHere was the home remedy idea. Misleading title.

Sorry rather see a dentist couse I would feel like I'm doing more harm then good

The source of infection is lack of fruit in your diet or too much smoking
