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 are the causes?
Dental abscesses originate from a mixture of causes, which can be:
- Emotional injuries.

What to do in case of an abscess?
The first thing to do is to see a dentist.
Then there are some additional options that can be explored.

Dentist
Usually, antibiotics are prescribed to clear the infection and ease the pain.
Then, the dentist will propose:
- Drainage of the abscess.
- Extraction of the tooth.
- Tooth devitalization.
- Periodontal surgery.
Emotions
Behind an abscess are emotional causes, in particular:
- Fear of not making it.
- Fear of not being enough.
- Fear of doing it wrong.
Emotional healing usually leads to self-healing of the body.
I discover how to deal with my emotions.

This can take time, depending on the extent of the lesion.
Sea water
Rinsing the mouth with sea water helps to:
- Cleanse the infected area.
