Hey guys, I'm new here.. I've been having on and off pain with my lower right wisdom tooth for a while now. Then this past week, it became extremely excruciating to the point I was waking up every 30 min to an hour. I originally thought it was just impacted but last Friday night I went to put some ambesol on it and felt the abscess bubble on my gum. I went to the ER and was giving 500 mg penicillin 4x a day. I started taking it Saturday morning. I have an appointment tomorrow with my dentist to get it pulled but I'm terrified that the infection is still too bad to pull. I feel like it's improving but I'm still in some pain... I'm most worried that the infection will spread during the extraction. I've read so many horror stories about wisdom tooth extraction but I'm extra afraid because mine is infected....
