question: Hi I actually have a pus gums right over my front tooth. I have taken antibiotics the first week that I first got it. I have 6 more days before I go back to the dentist for my root canal treatment but I would like to try and drain it first. because it's really uncomfortable with where it is situated. I am at the point where I just want to jam a pin through my gum just to drain it.Does anyone know how? p.s. aside from doing root canal? i really want to know if there's another option, treatment, or solution about this. As i heard after rootcanal is done by the dentist your tooth could be dark in the future. or else the tooth will removed? and i dont want that to happen. please help me, thankyou in advance
