How long does swelling usually last after having a dental absscess worked on?!
Question: I had a root canal and did not get antibiotics afterward, did this cause the abscess that I had a few days later?
I had the abscess drained, have a tube in it to let it continue to do so, I'm on Amoxiscillin, and Percoset for pain (good stuff lol). I thought that after it was opened, the swelling would subside but its 24 hours later and the swelling in my face is still there...not much pain, more discomfort now, but still so swollen. I see the dentist again on monday but I'm just wondering what's sorta typical.

I would say your root canal is infected. Get some corsodyl mouthwash, and use it twice a day.
