In case of infection, it is essential to consult a health professional.
Dental abscess
A dental abscess is when the abscess is located in the mouth.
Generally, the accumulation of pus is located at the root of a tooth.
If nothing is done, the pain can become unbearable and require the use of a painkiller or anti-inflammatory.

What to do in case of an abscess?
The first thing to do is to see a dentist.

Then, the dentist will propose:

- Periodontal surgery.
Emotions
Behind an abscess are emotional causes, in particular:

This can take time, depending on the extent of the lesion.
