GINGIVAL BULGE, ABCESS
WHY IS A GINGIVAL ABCESS ON MY GUM?
If the tissues around the tooth are damaged and bacterires infect the site, then the cells of the immune system will fight against the bacterias, which ends up in a red, swollen, painful area. A bulge can emerge on the gingiva and drains sometime. The pain decreases after drainage.
The cause of an abcess can be:
-
bacterial infection of the pulp and the periapical bone
-
periodontal pocket
-
iatrogenic trauma to the gingiva
HOW TO TREAT GINGIVAL ABCESS?
-
In case of a pulp inflammation: root canal treatment and tooth reconstruction
-
In case of a root canal treated tooth: revision and retreatment of the canal space
