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.
The difference between a gingival abscess and a periodontal abscess is that a gingival abscess is only in the soft gum tissue while a periodontal abscess extends into all of the gum tissue. A periodontal abscess can affect the roots of a tooth.
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.
my 11 year old have something that looks like an abscess under her tongue on the floor of her mouth what is that?
The dentist could not work on his teeth because he had an abscess on his gum.
An abscess is a sore on the gum that is caused by an infection. The only way to treat an abscess is to get an antibiotic from your dentist.
yes. not a tooth abscess, but a gum abscess. These need to be treated with antibiotics.
