So I have scheduled one of my problematic front teeth to be extracted in about four days. However today I felt pain and felt a bump on my gum above that tooth that is painful/sensitive to touch. Im thinking it is none other than the dreaded abscess...
I'm just scared about it because I've never had one... Should I try and find emergency to go into for it? Will it hurt if it bursts? I've read some things online and people say as long as your whole face isnt swelling and you have no fever, you should be good to wait for your appointment but feeling it there and knowing it's there gives me extreme anxiety. Im scared of it bursting. Is there any way to take the swelling down until I go in?
