Abcess

[waq]

Hi
Need some advice I have a long lying issue. Around 15 years ago I took a knock to my tooth, which affected it and subsequently caused an abscess on my upper left pallete. I had 3 root canal treatments to seperate teeth and various courses of antibiotics. I had an operation to remove the abces which worked temporarily but it soon returned. My dentist says there's nothing wrong but I can still feel the swollen abcess on my pallete and the left side of my face has been swollen ever since

Do you have any recent x-rays of photos of the areas that you can share? Preferably after all the treatment has been completed.

Hi unfortunately not as they were done years ago

You will need a recent x-ray then to be taken of the area, to determine if there is indeed an abscess or not.
