Dental abscess (tooth infection)

An abscess is a space in the body that contains pus. An abscess forms when the body is fighting a bacterial infection and there is no way for pus to drain. In the mouth, abscesses usually form in the gums next to teeth or roots of teeth. Bacteria can enter the mouth and cause an abscess through trauma, tooth decay, tooth or root fracture, or a deepened gap between teeth and gums caused by gum disease (periodontal pocket). If the abscess does not drain and is left untreated, the infection can spread to other areas of the head and neck. In this case, it becomes a serious and even life-threatening condition.
