Has anyone ever had a tooth infection without there being an abscess. I have been told i have a possibke infection, and that i didnt have a cavity, because when the dentist tapped on my teeth, no singular one brought pain. I'm on antibiotics for 5 days
I prey this heals the pain

I haven’t I’m afraid but I know that toothache is one of the worst pains ever! My sister in law had a tooth abscess a couple of years ago and was in agony. She was pregnant at the time so was only allowed paracetamol but she opted to have the tooth removed altogether.

I hope the antibiotics help

I hope to god they do. I'm relying on the dentist reading the xray correctly. She wasnt 100% sure. But i am on strongest antibiotic you can take👍. I'm in and out of pain at the moment.
 
Il hold Bernie up to the window later if it snows, he hasnt ever seen it, hes too young. Wrong thread lol
 
Toothache is awful, I had a dental abscess a few years ago that I ignored for ages then it flared up and actually burst through the side of my gum while we were supposed to be having a romantic wedding anniversary holiday! Then it spread through my jawbone and popped 6 teeth loose. Good luck with the dentist and the antibiotics and the painkillers- the way I looked at it was, once you have the tooth/teeth taken out they can't ever hurt again!

Ouch bet that flaming hurt like hell. I cant get an extraction because they cant pinpoint which tooth is hurting. It doesnt respond to tapping it. Just hoping the dentist was right about there being an infection. Else its d.i.y time. Hope i get thw right one first. Seems as I'm antibiotics, i should be alright
 
Can't they see on the xray which has dark gunk around the roots? All my lower front teeth had, the dentist asked if he could use my xray in his lecture at the dental college and I said yes and felt like a bit of a celebrity :)
 
There were dark patches
So probably was infection. Can you get a tooth infection without having an abscess?
 
Well an abscess is kind of an infection that's shut off in a pocket somewhere... if the infection is open to the surface it wont form an abscess. So you could have an infection that's oozing out down the side of a tooth so it doesnt fill up like a closed off abscess :)
I had one abscess but once the infection burst out and spread it hurt less because the pressure eased, but caused more widespread infection. If you have the right antibiotics it should sort it anyway :)
 
Today my tooth still hurts but not as bad, i feel like i have a cold now, feel baking hot and headachey. I think the antibiotics are starting to do the job
 
I'm very annoyed with my neighbour! We had arranged for her to come over here on Wednesday but she cancelled at short notice and said to me about Friday afternoon so I agreed. This morning about 11 I get a text from her saying she couldn't come because her husband wanted a meal at lunchtime and she had to cook it. I had cleared my afternoon especially for her to come over, postponed my friend coming over and I AM NOT happy. I have to keep her sweet though as she is looking after my piggies for the weekend as I am going up to Essex overnight tomorrow for a family Wedding.

How annoying! Can’t the husband cook his own food 🤔
 
Finally got diagnosed for my tooth, turns out the first appoinment i was misdiagnosed. Went back today for a second opinion, given the right antibiotic this time. Almost went for an extraction but with an infection, its 50/50 chance if it actually numbs properly. ( i bottled it) Bloody dentists.
