I was in the midst of an implant. The periodontist didn't give me an antibiotic. The next day that half of my face was twice the size and I had an interview.
I went to the interview, then I went to the doctor. The gum didn't heal back right, the screw had to be removed, the jaw bone had to grow back, then the entire process is being repeated! I'm almost through. The virus came in the midst of this!

Once you get the infection under control with antibiotics you will feel better. It usually takes 24 hours. If you need an extraction that is nothing to worry about.

@Luvsmyfam You don't even want to hear my dental woes and I have trigeminal neuralgia. No pain medicine on earth touches that pain. Yes, swelling up into eye, neck and at forehead and do take PCN. It is dangerous. Take it. Go to oral surgeon.

Dental infections can be terribly dangerous. Please get some antibiotics and get the problem fixed before it endangers your heart or some other part you can't do without! The pain, even if bad, does go away.

@Luvsmyfam An oral surgeon can do just that.

@Luvsmyfam It may not need pulled and can be fixed with a crown and maybe a root canal.
