I have found that if I soak the bad tooth with hydrogen peroxide it works. I have had 2 abscesses and both were cured with the peroxide. I held it in my mouth for about 3 mins. four or five times a day. I also used CS before bed time and held that in my mouth about 3-4 mins. { didn't swallow the peroxide but did the CS .. Good luck, Lois
