If it was longer than 24 hours ago, then you need heat packs, and warm to hot salt water rinses three to four times daily, or Hydrogene Poroxide rinses. I'm sorry about that spelling? If the tooth was pulled within the last 24 hours you need hot for 15 minutes and the cold for 15 minutes. I hope the Dentist gave you some Meds. for infection, and that you are taking them as directed. If not you need to call your Dentist and explain what your symptons are and quickly. This could become quite serious rather quickly. In fact, even if you do have meds, you might want to give your Dentist an update on your condition, just to be on the safe side. I know that a dry socket can be very painful, but a socket that has pus coming out might be worse! I think your Dentist needs to be informed.

If you have false teeth can you still get a gum abscess?

I had a golden crown fitted a couple of years ago, maybe last year I developed a bump on my gum by the gold tooth which I originally thought was just an ulcer, however it keeps coming back so after some extensive googling my ulcer looks more like an abscess.. I haven't been to a dentist to get it checked out yet as it never really causes me much pain, however, I do intend to. But yes I think you can.. unless my abscess isn't an abscess, but I think it is.
