A tooth abscess can cause severe pain and discomfort. If treatment is not started in time, the consequences can be very serious. Detecting a tooth abscess at an early stage will help avoid a number of complications.
An abscess develops as a result of an infection that can affect both the tooth and gum.
People usually notice an abscess when it becomes painful, although the abscess can develop over several weeks without any pain. However, the main symptom of an abscess is severe oral pain that begins in the affected tooth but can spread to surrounding areas.
Symptoms of an abscess include:
1. A black spot on the tooth, which may have an unpleasant odor.
If you notice such a stain on your tooth, you should contact your dentist.
2. Redness of the gums, swelling around the tooth, which can cause severe pain.
3. When chewing food, pain is felt when the affected teeth come into contact with food or other teeth.
4. A bacterial or viral infection that can cause symptoms such as weakness, fever and chills. This leads to general fatigue and headaches.
5. Formation of pus, which may come out or remain in the mouth. The smell of pus is very unpleasant and if it comes out of the mouth, it should be spat out rather than swallowed.
