Case Description
Hello; currently I have a tooth that has cracked below the gum line and I believe is absessed. Root Canal was done on this tooth and this occurred before a restoration could be complete. Several swollen areas are showing around the tooth. The pain has started to dissipate, but there is a terrible taste in my mouth all the time. Could this be an absess that has broken open? I was waiting until I could get a day off to get the tooth extracted. What are the dangers?

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.
