All about tooth abscess.
by: Christine Zafra
If you think pus can’t build inside your gums, it can. This only happens when you have cracked tooth, a tooth decay or periodontal disease that have not been treated for so long. This is a very painful thing for someone who has it. What dentists normally do is that they extract the tooth to prevent further infection, and after that, the dentist then drains the pus using a Jackson Pratt bulb. However, if you wish to delay the treatment, the infection might get swollen and puncture the bone of your tooth. It can lead to the soft tissues of your gums and may spread even further inside.
