My son won't let me take him to the dentist, so we let the tooth get really bad. Now he has a fever and his cheek is a little swollen. Should we go straight for removal, or wait for the swelling to go down?

The swelling might not go down. Or it might go down, but the pus will still go into the bone.

You should definitely go, the abscess won't just disappear. I'll tell you more, it's also poorly numbed in areas where there's pus. I still remember how they injected me all over, but they still pulled it out while I was awake.

yuliya yakubova Don't overthink it, it'll be over quickly anyway at least) Mine was really tough in the free one, so we ended up going to a paid one with songs and dances, and they treat with laughing gas.

I'd just delete it and be done with it.

We went straight for the removal. I was scared it would be worse. They removed it quickly.

Tone4ka Don't be scared. I was more scared than it actually was. I was even standing there crying in the doctor's office with my daughter, but then they removed it, gave me a prescription for antibiotics, and about 3-4 days later, the swelling went down.

It might not go away, the swelling might even get worse. Then they'll have to clean it out, which is a very unpleasant procedure, especially with a fever. There's an inflammatory process going on.

You should run to the doctor. I once let a tooth abscess get bad, and it led to hospitalization.

You need to run to the doctor, like, right now! A "flyus" (abscess) is pus, and it won't go away on its own until the source of the inflammation is gone. Remember, your teeth are in your head, close to your brain. You definitely don't want brain swelling – the consequences can be dire, and I'm not exaggerating. There have been cases, and not just a few. Your child is little, and their permanent teeth haven't come in yet. The developing permanent teeth could be damaged, and you could end up without a permanent tooth. You can't mess around with a pus-filled infection on your head, whether it's a boil or an abscess.

Run to the dentist, like, yesterday! If you don't treat it, you could end up in a much worse situation.

Albina I understand all of that about the consequences. It's just that with the swelling, I thought maybe I could wait until tomorrow. The swelling isn't too bad, but I had a fever, which is more serious.
We'll start getting dressed now and head to the dentist.
