A week ago I felt like I had something stuck in my tooth . I brushed and glossed but nothing came out or got better. I pushed a bit on the gum and a tiny black thing like a piece of pepper but hard came out. Now for the last few days my gum has been sore and if I press the area white puss comes out. Is this an abscess and should I go see my dentist?
Hi, Thanks for asking the query, I think you have developed abscess in the gums. This can be due to either food impaction between the gums, or accumulation of plague and calculus leading to gingival inflammation and pocket formation. It can also be due to carious tooth. I suggest you to visit a Dentist and get a checkup done. Take an x-ray . Get complete mouth scaling and polishing done . Get an abscess Chat Doctor. Take complete course of antibiotic and analgesic. Hope this helps out , Regards...
