A periodontal abscess is a pocket of pus in the tissues of the gum. It looks like a small red ball pushing out of the swollen gum. An abscess can occur with serious gum disease (periodontitis), which causes the gums to pull away from the teeth.
There are two main types of dental abscess: periodontal abscess — where bacteria infect the gums; and • periapical abscess — where bacteria infect the pulp inside of the tooth (and which is overall the most common type).
A periapical abscess is a collection of pus at the root of a tooth, usually caused by an infection that has spread from a tooth to the surrounding tissues.
A periapical tooth abscess usually occurs as a result of an untreated dental cavity, an injury or prior dental work. The resulting infection with irritation and swelling (inflammation) can cause an abscess at the tip of the root. Dentists will treat a tooth abscess by draining it and getting rid of the infection.
