Q.
I went to my dentist in agony because I was with toothache, my tooth (front top left) was throbbing and sooo sensitive, my face started to swell and i knew it was an abcess as i could tell from looking it up, my dentist put me on 2 lots of antibiotics which took the pain away, my tooth is still quite sensitive but a lump has now formed on my gum, it doesnt look like a abcess, you can hardly see it but can really feel it, its right under my lip below and around my nose. what could this be? also if i had to have my tooth taken out then would my dentist put another one in as i would hate to have a front tooth missing. please help me find answers

Hello and thank you for your questions. I would try root canal treatment first if it is possible. But if this is not suitable you may need a temporary tooth in place once the tooth is removed to allow the infection to subside
