- 1). Determine the color of the fluid leaking from the tooth by taking a cotton ball and pressing it gently to the troubled area. Remove the cotton ball after applying moderate pressure and examine the color; if it is brown or yellow, the tooth has likely abscessed and is leaking pus.
- 2). Schedule an appointment with your dentist as soon as possible. Inform them of the leak and ask for antibiotics.
- 3). Take all of your antibiotics as prescribed and monitor the tooth. Call your dentist if the tooth continues to leak, as you may need to undergo a tooth extraction or root canal.
