How do I know when an abscess on my gum is healing?

August 31st, 2009 | by admin |

I have an abscess that started on my gum and is slowly going backwards. The infection didn’t start from a tooth (as the dentist’s x-rays showed) and started from the surface of my gum. He prescribed me Penicillin and told me to check back in a week. Is the abscess still supposed to be turning white and draining throughout the whole week as it’s healing or is that a sign the Penicillin is not working? Thanks!

i would finish the penicillin course first and then see if the infectin goes away. During this time, i would keep the hygience in superb condition just to make sure the gum is healthy, assuming it’s the gum problem not the tooth.
