abscess tooth? I've had a bad tooth for about a week. I just met this guy that I really like. We've been kissing and unfortunately he has a sore throat. Now I just thought I had a bad tooth, but I have since found out that it is a draining abscess. I'm going to into the dentist tomorrow to start work on it. But I would like to know what I can do for this guy (boyfriend) so he can feel better.
