    Going through something similar myself, had a root canal a month or so ago, got an abscess between root canal and tooth behind it, had 5 days of 500g 3x daily amoxicillin lump went down but now jaw hurts and lump is still there just a little less, no idea how long to wait before i go back.. i hope we both get sorted!

      Just to say if your lump has gotten bigger you should ring them back because obviously antibiotics are not working!

    Successful dental endodontic treatment in the general dentist’s office is based upon proper case selection.
