How soon will a dentist work on an abscessed tooth?

I am going to the dentist first thing Monday morning to have him look at what I am almost 100% sure is an abscessed tooth. I’m assuming that he will prescribe me antibiotics, but how long after first seeing me will he likely preform a root canal on the tooth? Is it possible that if I see him Monday, he will work on it by Wednesday? Obviously Thanksgiving is on Thursday, I have family plans on Friday and then I’m back to school on Sunday.

What are the chances of this? How soon will he work on it, most likely?

Ideally as soon as possible in my opinion. Or he may refer you to an endodontist if he doesn’t have the time in his schedule.

    Very carefully, they will deaden clean it out shoot antibiotics and put you on some. I know how you feel. You will probably sip soup on Thanksgiving.
