Do I have an infected tooth?

My wisdom tooth hurts bad..I think it's infected?

  • I had my left wisdom tooth pulled a few months ago, and now my right one has a cavity in between the wisdom tooth and the molar next to it. The only thing is it hurts like hell when I push on it. This wisdom tooth has come through all the way. I have an appointment this Monday morning to have it pulled, but I think it's infected. I'm currently taking Amoxycillin to take care of the infection, but the things is...I misread the label. I thought it said to take 1 daily, but it says to take 4 daily. I've been taking 1 a day for about 3-4 days now. The thing is...my tooth still hurts bad and I was wondering how long the anti-biotics take to fix it? Also...are there any ways to tell if a tooth/gum is infected other than pain? I don't see anything really wrong with the area except that its a little swollen but not really noticeable honestly. I can't feel any little bumps on the gums either. Any advice?

  • Answer:
