You've scheduled an appointment with the dentist, and it can't come fast enough. Meanwhile, gargling with warm water, flossing to eliminate food stuck between teeth, and taking an over-the-counter pain killer can help. If you detect swelling or pus surrounding your tooth, or if you have a fever, you may have an abscess, which is a more serious issue. Make an appointment with your dentist as soon as possible. Antibiotics and other therapies may be required..If you want to know more please contact us at 9313603596
