    I&#39m not sure what you are asking? Yes, go have acupuncture which can certainly help with the inflammation. If it is infected you may need antibiotics, but with proper treatment you should be able to avoid having the tooth removed and with continuing acupuncture you should be able to deal with the underlying immune issues that are leading to these continuing problems.

    Acupressure is -not- acupuncture and is generally not strong enough for more systemic problems. You should consult with a local acupuncturist for help with your issues. In the absense of someone acupressure at LI 4 may offer some mild relief.
