Recovery of Tooth Abscess
A tooth abscess should go away after treatment. You most likely will experience temporary sensitivity which is common and it may take a few days to feel completely back to normal.
As every case is unique, recovery time can vary. Discuss with your dentist on what to expect after your tooth abscess treatment.
You might also be wondering if a tooth abscess can go away on its own. The answer is no, a tooth abscess won’t go away by itself. You may stop experiencing pain if an infection causes the pulp inside your tooth to die. You stop feeling pain because the nerve isn’t functioning anymore. However, the bacteria will continue to spread and destroy surrounding tissue. If you notice symptoms of tooth abscess, see your doctor even if you stop feeling pain.
