A gumboil is usually caused by an abscess at the root of the tooth. Often, this abscess is caused by food caught in pockets at the gumline. The infection forms at the root, and then eats away at the gum tissue, eventually creating a channel that leads to the gum surface. Once the channel reaches the gum surface, it appears to be a pimple or raised, white growth. Gumboils often (though not always) hurt, and sometimes the tooth feels raised or displaced. Gumboils should always be attended to by a dentist, because even drainage and an easing of symptoms doesn't mean the problem is solved, as the infection usually remains at the root of the tooth. If untreated in the long term, gumboils can cause tooth and even bone loss, as the infection dissolves the bone surrounding the root of the tooth.

How do you cure a gum boil?
A gumboil is also called a dental abscess. It is a growing pocket of infected pus, and the very best way to deal with it is by a course of prescribed antibiotics. While you are waiting for an appointment with your doctor or dentist, you can hold hot salty water in your mouth and swoosh it around the gumboil area. The salty water should be as hot as you can bear it without burning yourself. This treatment opens up the blood vessels so they can carry away some of the infected pus so it reduces pain caused by the build up of pressure. You can also use some over-the-counter pain medication while you are waiting to see your doctor or dentist, but frankly, they aren't strong enough to have much effect at reducing the pain.
