That's 'AM', not 'HAVE'.
Apparently I don't have an abcess at all, just an infection. No root canal work for me.
However, in anticipation of being drilled to fuck today, I rescheduled a job interview that I was supposed to be going to tonight. Nothing exciting, just a casting call for Frankie & Benny's. They're opening a new 'restaurant' in Weston.

you can have an infection without having an abcess.

You probably had a slightly suppressed immune system and then maybe came into contact with someone who was carrying some kind of "bad" bacteria which made it's way into your mouth and possibly entered a small cut on your gum. The bacteria then multiplied and because of your compromised immune system got to the stage when the side effects of all the bacteria by products made you feel like shit.
Then, if you don't get that treated, the infection could develop further, your gum gets eaten away underneath the tooth and this hole is what is known as an "abcess".

and no.
First part shite. Nithin to do with compromised immune systems for the vast majority of folks. Much more likely that a stray food particle finds it's way under the gum, or into a hole in the tooth and leads to infection.

You asked how you could get an infection without having an abcess. My explanation is a clear description of how that could happen. It wasn't a statement of how it always happens.

perfectly. Some of your answer was correct and could happen. Unlikely for the majority of the population, though.
I'm not having a go at ye, though.

I thought an abcess involved lots of root canal work. He said there was nothing he needed to do to the actual teeth, so the antibiotics would be enough.
Turns out I was justified in my woe-is-me-ness.

and I recall it was pretty hideously painful. So you're not being too soft.

where the infection is.
If it's deep in the the root of the tooth, then it's root canal. If it's in a hole in the top part, the crown, then it's usually simple drilling.They are both "abscesses" or gatherings of puss.
