Yeh, you were supposed to get a decent crown to protect it from bacteria.
You can gain some time with less pain, if you cure this infection.
If you have any n\antibiotics that you safely took before, (Like for a sore throat), you can probably take them for about one or two days and will se a difference.
Hey technically, you are supposed to go to a dentist.
(But I did guess it. You have more than a crack inthe crown. You have no crown.)
You have a shabby "temp". That is not on tight enough to keep bateria out. It is not enough to keep the eyedrops out, either. The eydrops might work. It is the safest thing.).
I have had pains, put myself on anitibiotics, and been told I was was doing the right thing, by dentists.
They just dont want to give everytbody anitiboitics, cause them can get in trouble by their licensing boards (evil peers).
I have even been told that if there is awhit raised area om the gum, near the surface, to go ahaead and prick it with an alcnol dipped neele to relive pressure there. And come into their office as soon as them can get you in. This is to prevent night time visits, and for you and he,  to get some sleep, and such,.
Small abscesses are only imergencies is\f thereis significant pain or ilfmaation. Or if you immune system is compromised.
Also,  they will squeeze you in immeditaely if you say you have an abscess.
"Abscess" is a buzz word that twill get you immediate treatment.
I am not a dintist or a cotor. bnut this is info that I have found to be true.
My teeth got ruined by an  alcoholic dentist, back inthe 50s WehnI was a child,k this man woild snoke a cigarette, right in my face, as he was o\wrking onme. people cannot beleive this. I didn't know it was worng. I was a baby.

I seriously would do the naitbiotics, and then tell him that you did. He won't scold you.
(Well, if he does, then I'd laugh, becuase he was the one that left you with a shoddily constructed temp. ANd h probably knew you were phovic.
He could have done a much better job on the temp.).
A good temp only costs him less than $10 in plastic and cement. (they come in sets)
I ordered a catalog of dental mateirals in the mail and found out a lot.

Sure I won't die from the antibiotic in my mouth???  I don't have a crown.  I
never got one after my root canal.  Could that be the problem?  Have a weird
giant filling covering half the tooth instead.  Been doing the eye drops onto
it thou
