25 y/o female, bottom right wisdom tooth with hole in it after cavity got out of hand. No pus or drainage, but severe pain off and on throughout the day. Pulp under tooth is visible. Lymph nodes are not swollen/ no tenderness. Grind teeth/ hard clenching of jaw at night with no mouth guard. No fever has shown. No swelling. What are the chances of this being an abscess or of having staphylococcus? Awaiting health insurance card in the mail. Thanks a bunch for your help! :)

Plz get a x-ray of that tooth. It seems you may have to go in for removal of teeth. Rct is difficult in wisdom tooth. Consult your dentist soon n take necessary medications like painkiller n antibiotics!

It is usually not covered in many insurances consult a maxillofacial surgeon it may have to b removed after a minor surgery an exposed pulp tooth may not give you swelling as drainage is established though I wonder how you could c the pulp.
