I am on a waiting list to have a wisdom tooth removed under general anaesthetic (complicated root system and lots of trauma).
In the mean time I have developed an abscess on the gum below the tooth. It’s not currently causing much pain beyond a dull achey feeling currently but there’s a lump with pus visible.
I plan to visit an emergency dentist for antibiotics as soon as I can get an appointment.
However - I am due to fly to Florida with my son (trip to Disneyworld) in about 5 days.
Will being on the plane cause the pain to be worse/unbearable? Should I be cancelling our holiday. (Side note - I recently flew to and from Paris and had minimal pain although I appreciate that’s a much shorter flight and doesn’t go as high).
