Hi, I recently started having pain in one of my teeth, I had it worked
on by one dentist who filled it, and the day after it was worked on I
immediately started experiencing pain so, I went to a different local
dental group which diagnosed me of having an infected tooth, therefore
requiring me to have a root canal... anyhow, they sent me home with a
prescription of penicillin and tylenol 3, I've been taking the
recommended dosage and things couldn't be better however, I noticed
last night that I was bleeding out of my gums and it was swollen to the
point where it covered up a portion of my abcess tooth. So here's the
question, since I can't contact the group today, should I bother
calling them about this situation? I'm supposed to get a root canal in
a week or so anyway, would they able to fix it then or does this
require immediate attention?

    The magnitude of swelling you describe--I believe it should be looked
at promptly.  The swelling may need to be drained.
