Dental Abscess Came Back?

Hello, I have a dental abscess which has once again returned. I thought that I had gotten all the infection out when I popped it the first time. But unfortunately, it's come back with a vengeance. Now I'm in twice as much pain as I was the first time. What do I do?!

You have to get the toothremoved or have a root canal.
Infections do not go away on their own. It is strongly advised to see a dentist ASAP! 
Go back to the dentist. Clearly, the abscess was not completely eliminated. You may need surgical curettage to solve it.
