Answers:
Doubt that forgetting to brush for two days would cause an infection, just sub-par dental hygiene.

I'm not a dental professional by any means, however your symptoms sound almost identical to my own that i was suffering thru not that long ago. Google for "Pericoronitis". Its the infection of the soft tissue surrounding a partially emerged or impacted wisdom tooth. It can lead to more severe problems such as restriction of your airway (if the infection spreads frm your cheek/mouth into your neck.) Get on Antibiotics right away (Clindamycin was used for my treatment, however Amoxycillin is effective as well.).. DONT buy Amoxicillin for fish... it does NOT work! Get a prescription... even if you have to pay just to see the dentist. You don't want this infection to get worse, trust me.

Here's a PDF file that may help you determine whether or not it is indeed Pericoronitis affecting you - There are pictures and detailed description of typical symptoms.

sorry to hear of your pain. a ball of white stuff doesn't sound good. I've read that a good quality oil of oregano can be effective for tooth pain. Make sure it is diluted in a little water or other oil before applying. And as with anything, be cautious the first time using it in case you have an allergy to it. I haven't used it myself but I wouldn't hesitate to try it if I had a toothache. Take care.

amoxicillin is good if it is infected, be sure to finish the prescription as directed on the bottle

take ibuprofen for pain and use oragel or something,
warm salt water rinses are good, also a heating pad may sooth it, but be careful not to burn your faceHealth Question & Answer
