No it didn't. The abscess will be back one day! Most likely when you're on holiday, or the day before a major family event.

They always know when to strike!

Thanks Toothsmith..

I have one more question here..It will be great if you could advise..

I had been to dentist and she diagnosed it as a sensitive tooth due to toothbrush abrasion caused by my 'over-enthusiastic' brushing....

The dentist applied a protective fluoride coating..which has desensitized the tooth and now i don't feel any sensitivity.. I had an follow-up appointment, later cancelled by the dentist, as I didn't have any pains...

The coating is still on my tooth and protecting the sensitive part..not sure how long it will be there..

I am just worried, if there will be any damage to my 'healthy' tooth if I let the coating to be there for so long...
Dentist said, the coating will be there at least for another 2-3 months and go off on its own slowly.. but I am worried whether it will cause any problems to my tooth...

No - those desensitisers won't harm anything at all, and just wear off.

By the time it does, the tooth would probably have desensitised itself anyway, so the problem might not come back at all.
