I have an abscess or inflammation at the root of a filled molar. A swelling under the jaw bone, an almost locked jaw. The dentist gave me anti-biotic(penicillin and another one on top) that don't seem to completely reduce the swelling that from soft turned into a hard peach size lump close to the jaw bone. Is my jaw bone being in danger?

abscess is getting consolidated , its better to remove the tooth , very difficult to save your tooth , do it as soon as possible , root canal will fail mostly

•  abscess
•  root canal treatment
•  single sitting root canal treatment
•  surgical extraction
•  painful tooth

1. If the abscess is fluctuant (i.e. not firm) then ask your dentist to give an intr-oral incision so that the pus can be drained out.
2. Ask him to open the root canals of that tooth and give open dressing with intra-canal medicament. This will reduce the pain.
3. You have to take antibiotics and pain killers for a period of minimum 3 days.
4. Once the pain subsides, you can undergo root canal treatment of that tooth.

•  Abscess drainage
•  Intra canal dressing
•  Delayed RCT

root canal will most probably fail in your case...get the tooth removed as early as possible...inject-able antibiotics will greatly help if abscess is to much

•  antibiotics
•  surgical extraction
•  painful tooth
•  Acute PA abscess
•  Abscess drainage

first and foremost ...the drug of choice penicillin that is prescribed to you is an ancient drug,usually not given these days.please visit your doctor and discuss regarding the line of treatment ,etc.

•  tooth extraction
•  Abscess drainage
•  periapical abscess
•  sinus tract
•  acute dental abscess

If even after opening ur root canals n no drainage is seen it is better to get ur tooth removed with proper antibiotic coverage.

•  antibiotics
•  pain in tooth
•  space infection
•  emergency root canal opening

yes, take proper treatment, rct with or without apicoectomy

•  oral swelling
•  pain teeth
•  oral abscess

Due to low grade infection the water in the balloon like feeling has transformed into hard node. In my opinion it is better to remove the tooth and replace it

•  extraction
•  antibiotics
•  periodontal involvement
