Thanks for your reply Clearskies.
Reading about how dental abscesses can kill people just freaked me out. I didn't know that thing about the roots and how dentists are supposed to wait.
OK, so I've had the abscess for a long time I'm guessing, so I guess it's not that bad to wait a week to have the root canal?
The dentist said my tooth stopped hurting because it died.
I need to get a night guard after this. I think my teeth grinding cracked my tooth.
I just had no idea I have an abscess. My tooth does not hurt at all. I hope this means the abscess was caught at an early stage. I have fears about the infection spreading.
