I have an abscessed tooth on the bottom. I just noticed the access today, it isn't red or painful but I feel a bump on the gum near the root of the tooth. I'm not surprised, because the tooth is literally cracked in half and brown. Anyway, even though it's not bothering me, I know that I should get it pulled before it spreads. I have work after school Monday and Tuesday (13th and 14th) so I would have to get it pulled the 15th, but I'm worried because I'm going away to visit my boyfriend at college (3 hours away) on the 20th for a few days. I know I'd feel fine by then probably but would I still be able to kiss my boyfriend? Should I just wait to get it out until I get back from his school? I have no pain at all, it's not red, and it's not oozing. I may go to have it looked at Monday to see if I can wait to get it out. Thanks for any advice!!
