I also had an abcess under one of my lower crowns that spread to my face (lump). I also just had my six month checkup 2 weeks earlier with no problems and all of a sudden this happens. (hmn also) I went back to my dentist for xrays and he suggested that I have another root canal. He also issued me a 10 day supply of Amoxicillin (500 mg)(30 pills). THe pain susbsided within a couple of hours after i started taking the anti biotic, and the abcess went away about the 9th day.
In addition I also gargled with hot water and epsom salt every other waking hour, and I also gargled with hot water and hydrogen peroxide (50/50 mix)every other hour (alternate).
I did not now about the Colloididal silver, or \"used\" tea bag treatment, but I will keep them in mind should I have a reoccurence.
Other Info: I asked my Doctor to extract the crown with the abcess and and he talked me out of it and said I should get a \"root canal\" to save the tooth. Keep in mind that I am in my mid 60s and I have 12 crown, one which already had a root canal performed. I sometimes wonder if Dentist have your welfare in mind , or are they just concerned about making more money.
Nevertheless, a 10 day supply of Amoxicillin (500 mg) is necessary to eliminate the abcess initially. I still gargle once a day with the 50/50 hotwater & hydrogen peroxide mixture. (It has been 8 weeks since abcess was identified)
