Yes, however, you need to brush VERY softly around the abscess, rupturing it can cause infection and could potentially be fatal if not treated. You need to get into a dentist or visit an emergency room for antibiotics.

More than likely that tooth will need to be extracted as once an abscess forms it is no longer salvageable through root canal therapy.

yes but it may go green but that's ok.

Abcesses are more dangerous than many people think. I hope you are getting medical treatment !

If it is new, and is not going away, point it out to your dentist on your next visit. If you are a smoker, or chew tobacco, you may want to check this out soon.
