Abscess tooth.

Checked for a dentist today and found none if you don't want emergency surgery. The pain went away when they gave me a estimate of 900.00 for just one tooth because this is called emergency surgery.

Well, at least you tried to find out some more information, Robert.

Is there any way to just only talk with a dentist , rather than to see one or have any emergency surgery or emergency appointment?

If not, how about asking any of your regular doctors, by phone,
instead of a dentist,
if you are okay for now, with the script you have and the tooth problem, waiting?

These are all just ideas, for you to think about.

If you do need the dental surgery, how long till they could give you a regular scheduled date for that, so it would not be an extra emergency price?

I'd love to pay $900.00 for just one tooth. In CA, a root canal is $1,500.00 minimum.
I just paid $4,700.00 for a root canal, extraction & bridge.

Hmm. As I understand it, if you have an infected tooth and don't have it dealt with, that infection could spread to the rest of your body, including your brain.

That's pretty much what Sepsis is - an infection that spreads (not necessarily to the brain) & causes a big immune-system reaction.

Yes, that's what he should find out, if the Augmentin script he got and has been taking for his ear, is doing enough for his tooth and for that purpose.
