Abscessed Tooth
A periapical (root-tip) abscess is a pocket of infection at the base of a tooth's root, it is pus enclosed in the tissues of the jaw bone. The tooth becomes abscessed after the pulp (nerve) of the tooth becomes infected.
A periapical abscess is usually caused by deep decay or an accident (trauma to the tooth involving nerve damage). There may be a swelling present at either the base of the tooth, the gum, and/or the cheek.
Severe pain and discomfort are very common. An abscessed tooth will require either Root Canal Treatment or an Extraction. In some cases an antibiotic will also be prescribed.
