What Is an Abscessed Tooth?
A dental abscess is a pocket of pus caused by a bacterial infection, usually forming at the root of a tooth or between the tooth and gum. It’s a serious condition that can spread if not treated quickly.
Symptoms of an Abscessed Tooth
Common signs include:
-
Severe, throbbing toothache
-
Swelling in your face or gums
-
Fever
-
Bad breath or a foul taste
-
Pain when chewing or biting
-
Sensitivity to hot or cold
-
A visible pimple-like bump on your gums
If you notice any of these symptoms, seek dental care immediately.
What Causes a Tooth Abscess?
Tooth abscesses usually occur due to:
-
Untreated cavities
-
Gum disease
-
Cracked or chipped teeth
-
Failed dental work
Bacteria enter the tooth or gum through these openings and cause infection.

Emergency tooth extraction if the tooth cannot be saved
