SandyB, you will have to have it sorted at the dentist.  What you are doing is only a temp thing and I think if one leaves it the abcess could spread to the other teeth, then it's going to be eina and your face could swell up too! 

GO TO THE DENTIST SANDYB!!!!!!    


@ Bertie, tell him what will happen if he leaves it.

Sorry guys, was away for the weekend!
@ Sandy - Not so sure that wild olive leaf has any antiseptic power, and if it's a brewing abscess in the bone, it will come back.  Have they taken an x-ray?  Please let it be seen to - before it's too late and the only option is to have the tooth removed!   Hey, by the way, Sandy, I know where you work, and the ladies at reception will let me in - i've done it before - so don't make me come over there with a briefcase full of sharp instruments!!!!  Oh, and I'll record it and put it on the site for our friends to watch!
No, seriously, please get another opinion or call if you want more advice. 
As far as natural remedies are concerned, you can take quite a few immune system stimulants and modulators as a prophylactic to prevent it from coming back, but it will not get rid of an abscess (chronic or acute).  My number is in the Cape Town directory.

Hahahaha!  Sandy better be careful, pain comes in many forms....

[SandyB]

 Bertie .. This thing seems to flare up when stressed or tired .. so far the "treatment" has worked .. no recurrence .. it is a wrecked tooth .. it  had a split .. my dentist was very innovative .. explained options .. extraction .. a missing molaris not nice . a bridge would stress the adjoining teeth .. Implant .. not even going there ..  so he  ground down .. glued the split .. built up base and put on cap ... possibly nerve action causing inflammation .. but yes the Wild olive tabs have worked .. still doing it  once a day as preventative ... I mean it did the job in  4  hours initially .. but yes when  i get courage up i will go .. ( actually near time for clean and exam )  and discuss options ... the emergency dentist had this wonderful new digital X ray thing and showed exactly where inflammation was .. so yes it is a trouble spot ..  do some reading up on the wild olive ..

@ Sandy - By all means, if it works, keep on with it!  Please will you look on the container if there's any mention of botanical names?  I'm curious, for here in SA we call "Olea africana" the wild olive, but it could also be "Olea europaea", and their constituents are different. 
We usually use it as a mild anti-hypertensive and diuretic, and to help break fever.  The main ingredients are two secoiridoids - oleuropein and oleacein, and also some terpenoids and flavonoids.  They have been shown to convert certain enzymes in the blood, and also has anti-oxidant effects, so I would think that it works in that way.  It has also been used by local tribes as a gargle for sore throats for ages.
Good luck!

Bertie, can you translate that into English ... 

[georgswa (Georg Ruf) (RIP)]

@ Patricia

They are just trying to confuse us, should i translate for you ???? In German of course ???

[georgswa (Georg Ruf) (RIP)]

At Patricia

The translating programm also got confused, does not look any better


Sandy - certainement, si cela fonctionne, subsistance dessus avec elle ! Svp vous regarderez sur le récipient si there' ; s une mention des noms botaniques ? I' ; m curieux, pour ici dedans SA nous appelons le " ; Africana" d'Olea ; l'olive sauvage, mais c'a pu également être " ; Europaea" d'Olea ; , et leurs constituants sont différents. Nous l'employons habituellement comme antihypertensif doux et diurétique, et pour aider à casser la fièvre. Les ingrédients principaux sont deux secoiridoids - oleuropéine et oleacein, et également quelques terpénoïdes et flavonoïdes. Ils ont été montrés pour convertir certaines enzymes dans le sang, et ont également des effets antioxydants, ainsi je penserais que cela fonctionne de cette façon. Il a été également employé par les tribus locales comme gargle pour les gorges endolories pour des âges. Bonne chance !
