should you use hot or cold compresses for a tooth abscess?

Scott R

I've always heard you use cold.

I usually mix mouthwash and peroxide, it takes the abscess away immediately. If you don't have mouthwash, mix it with water.

Jordannnnnnn <33

go to any health
food store
and ask for
oil of oregano
its really nasty
but it is completely nasty
its kinda expensive but it works
really good
:D

try any antibacterial oral mouth wash

Smiley

A warm compress will work better because the cold works to reduce swelling but in your case, you want to get rid of the infection.
Rinse with full strength peroxide several times a day. This will get rid of the infection. No need to mix with water.
Gargle with warm water and salt. This will help with the pain.
