The pain may be gone, however an infection could still be there. If you are taking antibiotics, you should finish the full course. A follow-up dental visit along with a radiograph (x-ray) is a good idea. If you have done all this already and have no pain or symptoms, then the infection is probably gone. No symptoms for a long period of time is the best way to know for sure.

What is an absinthe tooth?
Gone tooth
What are consequences of getting your root canal therapy?
If your tooth needs a root canal and is not painful, then it must be a dead tooth. When a tooth is dead, it is a source of infection which is not good. It is possible that it could hurt in the future due to infection. Better to have the root canal done, because you're trying to save your tooth. If you don't have the root canal treatment done and your tooth continues to decay, the dentist might have to pull that tooth out in the future. Once you pull out your tooth, that's gone forever
Can your molar tooth grow back?
If it is an adult molar (not a baby tooth), no - once it's gone, it is gone forever.
Can a dental infection cause elevated enzymes?
Yes. As part of the immune response, the body will produce an enzyme called collagenase which destroys the connective tissue surrounding the tooth. Once enough connective tissue is destroyed, the tooth will get loose and be lost, and the source of the infection will be gone. In addition to that, there are other enzymes produced by the liver which are known to be markers for infection. I'm not exactly sure what their function is.
Can I have my tooth extracted if I have an absess below tooth. One dentist says ok another says the infection would have to clear first or could be dangerous to remove. Any advice please?
I had a friend with a similar problem and his dentist told him he had to wait until the infection was gone because it is very dangerous to operate on an absess tooth. It may be painful now but eventually it will be over and if you risk it and do the operation too soon it could result in worse pain than before. My friends dentist told him removing an absess tooth can actually kill you from infection and whatever else.

Should a tooth be pulled if gums are inflamed or you have an abscess?
Yes and no yes- if you went through measures and the infection is too far gone to save the tooth, an extraction may be the only way No- if a root canal or different types of pennicillin havent been used It really just depends on the situation
Does the tooth fairy come on holidays or when your gone?
Yes, as long as you remember to put your tooth under your pillow.
What happens when an abcessed tooth bursts or pops?
Usually when an abcess pops, the pus comes out and you feel some relief. But the infection is not healed and you should check it by a dental professional.By Cyberanto
How can you get to write a tooth fairy note to the tooth fairy?
When you lose a tooth, write a note to the tooth fairy and put it under your pillow or with your tooth. By morning, your tooth will be gone, money or a little gift could be there instead , and your note will answered! (that's if you asked a question)
Should you stop putting eyeliner on your waterline if a stye formed?
Yes. At least until the stye is gone..the oils in the eyeliner can get into it and cause it to get even more of an infection and will take longer to heal.
Can a mouth wash type rinse rebuild tooth enamel?
