question: I have a very minor (no pus bag and no pain) dental abscess that has made my face slightly swollen. I'm ok for the most part but am starting to feel a little faint. I don't know if its because of the abscess or just a general feeling of drowsiness. I have no insurance and very little money so I haven't and won't be able to see a dentist. After googling that an abscess could be fatal I'm now worried and concerned about my overall health. Please help
