Abscess Wisdon Tooth
by weronda, Jul 30, 2009 06:00PM
I have an abscess on tooth number 32 most likely due to trauma. I had an amalgam filling replaced about two years ago and now, an abscess and the root is dead. I have two quesetions, I have been on penecillin for 7 days and the bad taste in my mouth has increased. Is that a cause for concern? Also, if I have a root canal, do I also have to have a crown?

I would have it checked out immediately, and most likely you will need a crown or some type of a restoration to restore the tooth and protect the tooth after having the root canal done
