A gum abscess typically appears as a swollen, red bump on the gum tissue, often filled with pus. It may be painful and can cause discomfort when chewing or touching the area. Surrounding tissues might also be inflamed, and there may be a noticeable bad taste or odor in the mouth. In some cases, the abscess can lead to a more serious infection if not treated promptly.

If you have false teeth can you still get a gum abscess?

I had a golden crown fitted a couple of years ago, maybe last year I developed a bump on my gum by the gold tooth which I originally thought was just an ulcer, however it keeps coming back so after some extensive googling my ulcer looks more like an abscess.. I haven't been to a dentist to get it checked out yet as it never really causes me much pain, however, I do intend to. But yes I think you can.. unless my abscess isn't an abscess, but I think it is.
