Abscess from wisdom tooth
My top left wisdom tooth has started coming through and like previous wisdom teeth I’ve had it has caused an abscess, my dentist told me there was no infection and wanted to pull the tooth out without giving me antibiotics, I refused and left.
Later I went to A&E department who told me it was infected and gave me a course of antibiotics.
I also have a yellow colour hole forming on my cheek and It’s still very painful to swallow, move my tongue or mouth.
