[QUOTE="Buzzdraw, post: 4285374, member: 385"] Do not ignore a "little" tooth abscess, as it will become a more expensive, much more painful and pointentially dangerous big abscess. My long time dentist office gave me the ho-humm and would not prescribe an antibiotic until they would see me in about a week. That should have been a cue to quickly go elsewhere. The practice had been sold to a new dentist a couple years previous and I had met him. The same dentist had previsously prescribed an antibiotic so it wasn't anything new. A couple calls later in the week to ask about an antibiotic before the appointment, I was put on "ignore". At the end of the week, when finally in the dentist office, I was really in pain. Dentist says "you have an abscess, take this antibiotic script and go away for 10 days." By then, the standard script he gave me wasn't up to handling the abscess. Ten days later and dentist says "can't work on you today, as abscess is still present". No offer by dentist at any point for a strong pain killer as I was REALLY hurting. Got up and left that dentist office for good. Quickly found a competent dentist that cares about his patients. [/QUOTE]
