“How do you find out if the abscess root is still up there?”
My incisors and canines had an abscess on them and were supposed to be pulled out in February. When in June the infection became worse, 3 doctors found abscess root tips. I went to the oral surgeon. How do you find out if the abscess root is still up there?

Hello there!! Normally your oral surgeon should take a radiograph after your extraction and he/she should show you the radiograph to reassure you that all the infected root tips are out. So you can call your oral surgeon's office and ask for the radiograph.

An X-ray is the only way to be sure
