Question
my husband has had severe abscessed teeth and whenever he gets to a dentist he always seems to pass out. Now it has gotten so bad he is on Pennicillian and nothing is changing. his jaw is swelling up and when he touches it pain shoots though all his teeth. unfourtunately we are getting ready for a big move where he will have access to dental care but not for 2 months is there anything he can do? we have tried going to the local hospital but they just send him out with antbiotics and tell him he should get to a dentist soon, also on the other side where his teeth have broken out he said he thinks the root fell out is this possible? thank you

Answer
Hi Amber,
You absolutely can not wait two months to get this fire put out. You MUST get to an oral surgeon NOW. There he will be well taken care of under sedation if necessary.DO IT NOW.You really are playing with fire. Get the care needed and don't wait.
