Infection in gum

[kayduck]

Hi. I know I have an infection in my gum but the puss is free flowing. I'm waiting for a root filling to be done Iv been on antibiotics before for this but if cause it comes back. To be honest it's a cyst that as been with me for 30 plus years and as been removed before. Is there anything I can use in the meantime to help draw this out as I really don't want to keep taking antibiotics and I'm getting so depressed with it all now. Thank you.

@kayduck hi . How do you know it’s an in? Do you have an abscess? Honestly it’s not true about it spreading . I had two infections and then had those tooth taken out under general anaesthetic. Keep using salt water after you eat and just keep an eye on how you feel ? Like if you feel unwell but otherwise you will be fine . I was also terrified but @Gordon who is a dentist on here he reassured me .

@kayduck thanks I will do . It’s being done at a community dentist for vulnerable people and they are supposed to be really good and caring.
