Conclusion
An abscessed tooth is a minor condition which, can be managed with simple home remedies before seeking medical attention. It is a hole in the tooth that is filled with pus and caused by a bacterial infection, usually due to poor oral hygiene. Once the center of tooth is infected, pus accumulations happens, often leading to swelling and toothache. If left untreated, a dental abscess may spread to the gums and bones of the mouth, or other parts of eyes or face; that will worsen the condition and lead to severe complications.
