No- if a root canal or different types of pennicillin havent been used

Can you have a tooth abscess without symptoms?

Yes, when it first starts. I had a tooth that had no problem, but was getting a bridge made so my dentist wanted to pull a particular tooth (too thin to hold the bridge) and found an abscess under the tooth that was just forming. If he hadn't pulled the tooth I am sure that I would have had to see a dentist in the near future for an abscess. Abscess' don't show up on x-rays.

When will I feel better after an extraction of an abscessed tooth?

It is going to hurt to have it pulled when it is abscessed but it will feel better very soon after. I had one pulled while it was abscessed and it was very painful but I am very thankful I did it. I couldn't have stood the pain from the abscess much longer.AnswerHealing after an tooth extraction can take up to a week.
