A tooth abscess occurs at the center of the tooth and occurs when the nerve that controls the teeth has died.

Your dentist may have to make a small puncture in the gums to release the trapped liquid. The dentist may also be able to take care of the abscess on his own by extracting the infected material from the inside of the mouth.

Tooth abscesses can be treated in many ways depending on the depth and extent of the infection. The infection that causes a tooth to become abscessed is caused when bacteria and fungi enter the gums, and the pulp chamber of the tooth where food and saliva secretions come together. When the infection spreads from the mouth to the bloodstream, it becomes a life-threatening situation and requires medical attention.

An infection of the gums can cause swelling and inflammation in the surrounding areas, which may make them bleed.

If this happens, it can be very painful. The infected area can become red and tender, and there may be bleeding from the infected area. Your dentist can usually detect the presence of an abscess by the presence of pus in the affected area.

Infection of the bone can also cause an abscess. If the infection spreads to the gums or tooth base, the infected area may bleed or develop sores. Your dentist can detect the presence of an abscess by the presence of blood in the affected area.

In severe cases, the infected area may bleed profusely and the surrounding bones may crack. Your dentist can remove the infected material using a drill.

Tooth abscess treatment involves removing the infected material from the teeth. You may need to go in for several treatments to get the infection completely removed. If the problem is not severe enough to require surgical removal, you may choose to treat the infection with antibacterial substances or antifungal agents.

There are some instances where an abscess can occur naturally in the gums. These can include a gum infection, root canal problems, root abscesses, periodontal problems, tooth decay, and tooth decay.
