recommend some non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen (sold as Advil)
or naproxen (sold as Aleve), but these drugs will not treat the abscess itself. Dentists

procedure to save the infected tooth. Moreover, if the condition is severe, they may perform
a tooth extraction to eradicate the infection from the root.
Tooth extraction:
When you have a broken tooth or extensive tooth decay, dentists may require you to perform
filling, fixing the crown to repair the tooth. However, when tooth damage is too severe to be
repaired, dentists prefer tooth extraction to avoid further damage.
Tooth extraction is the process of the elimination of a tooth from its socket in the bone.

Most people have to go through root canal treatment due to the dead nerve that is found
inside the hollow portion of the tooth. The tooth is hollow when it pops and contains nerve
tissue, blood vessels, and cells that accumulate calcium on the interior of the pulp chamber
and in the continuation of the pulp chamber along with the roots. A tooth can be damaged for
