Dental Abcess Ask The Dentist James Sanderson

Question:
I had a abcessed tooth about a year and a half ago. I finally saw a dentist 6 months ago and had a root canal done. The dentist said that the abcess was as big as the tip on his pinky finger.

The abcess was on a tooth that was very close to another tooth and now I have pain and swelling in that area again. I was wondering if it was from the bone regrowing around the tooth or if may it could be the start on another infection or what you think it could be? ... Visitor from AR

Answer:
It is very hard to tell over the internet about these things. I would suggest that you see the dentist soon because if it is an infection then you want that out of your body!
