How can I get rid of a dental abscess without antibiotics?
assistant
The best way to get rid of a dental abscess without antibiotics is to choose home remedies such as rinsing your mouth with warm salt water, applying a cold compress to the outside of the cheek, and using over-the-counter pain medications to manage the pain. You can also talk to your dentist about draining the abscess or using an oral irrigator to help flush it out. More severe abscesses may require professional treatments such as root canal therapy or antibiotic medications.
