Tooth Abscess Pain Treatment

What Is A Tooth Abscess

There are two types of Dental Abscesses which can cause Emergency Tooth Pain:

Gum Abscess (Periodontal)

A Gum Abscess is when an Abscess occurs in between a Tooth and the Gum. This typically happens to patients with gingivitis or gum disease. When a Gum Abscess appears it usually comes from trapped food which can cause bacteria and infections which get worse over time.

Tooth Abscess (Periapical)

A Tooth Abscess is when an Abscess is inside of the Tooth which is caused by a Bacterial Infection and can be very painful especially if left untreated without an Emergency Dentist Appointment.

When a Tooth Abscess occurs you typically get a Collection of Pus which can cause the Emergency Tooth Pain and until drained away, the Tooth Pain will last and can potentially spread in the body and make you feel very ill.
