Tooth abscess and cavity

2018-04-11 10:49:05
I have a bad tooth cavity. It has been hurting for the past week. Now the gum is highly swollen and I can see pus formation. When I searched for the symptoms, it looks like an abscess. The swelling is limited to the cheek area. Have only taken pain medication. I need to know an affordable dentist in Lucknow and what procedure would be followed.

Should take antibiotic from doctor. It's better to get the tooth extracted after the course
