Case Description
I have a broken tooth that broke aprox. 1 year ago and now is swollen, bleeding and seems to have an abcess. I am taking 4-6 Advil every 4-6 hours, but the pain is waking me up and getting worse with each passing day. The gum around the briken tooth stubs are swollen and bleeding. I need help!

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.

Sounds like you need to see a dentist ASAP. Your problem will not be alleviated with Advil. The abscess will continue to grow and will affect the adjacent teeth.- Dr. Anthony Marcoswww.MarcosAndMarcosDDS.com

You do quite a serious problem going on and the Advil you are taking will not help until you do get the situation diagnosed. It would be difficult at this time to say exactly what is happening over email without current x-rays. You may require drainage of the absess first before extraction. Difficult to say without more information.You can contact my office for a consultation to determine the best plan of treatment.
