Important Things to know about Abscesses


When white blood cells die, it leads to the formation of an abscess. After the formation, the immune system sends white blood cells to fight with the bacteria.


Once formed, it can infect other parts of the body if not drained properly and can be life-threatening.


There are various symptoms of abscess like throbbing pain and feeling of pressure while chewing food. It can cause fever if not treated well and on time. Your sinus area can be affected and as a result, more pain can occur.


Vitality test is important to check if a tooth is prevented or not. In vitality test, temperature testing, a gentle tapping on the teeth and examination of gums may be done.


Once found and drained, symptoms will disappear in a few days but to eliminate it properly, it is important to find its cause and then cure the abscesses.


A good oral care to make your teeth and gums free from the debris can prevent the formation of an abscess. You can also visit your nearby dental clinic for regular dental check-ups.
