Question:
I had a wisdom tooth extracted by oral surgery a month ago. This last week the gum has had an abcess (filled with pus) yet the area seems to be filling in OK. It is painfull to eat, yawn.
I have tried mouthwashes and peroxide flushes but the "pus" continues to build back up. Do I need an antibiotic to beat this? ...Lanny in KS
Answer:
Lanny, you need to go back to your oral surgeon, have an X-Ray taken and make sure there are no root tips or bone fragments causing your problem.
