An abscess is a confined area of pus, which is usually caused by decay in the tooth. An abscess leads to swelling and can be very painful. Once the decay becomes very severe it will affect the nerves and blood vessels, the tooth becomes infected and dies.
Surgery is needed when the infection does not heal after a root canal treatment or when there is still some infection left in and around the root of the tooth. A small opening is made through the gum and bone over the apex of the root to clean out the infection.
If you feel extreme pain in your teeth, along with symptoms like swelling in an area of your gum and dizziness, it is highly recommended that you visit a dentist for diagnosis and gum abscess surgery.
