An abscessed tooth is a collection of pus that forms in different areas of the teeth. For example, there are periodontal, periapical and gingival abscesses.
Abscesses must be treated in time, because they can become very dangerous to your health. The patient will report pain when chewing, swelling of the gums, loose teeth, bad breath, bad taste in the mouth, etc.
A fracture of a tooth, a caries infection, or a periodontal disease are the causes of the appearance of an abscess. We share an interesting 3D video about dental abscesses.
