Question

How do you get a tooth abscess?

Answer 1

i had that problem b4 and it was the worst d**n pain i have EVER felt in my life, i even cried. i was like 16. i think it happens when a bacteria underneath your gums below your teeth start to build up puss and all the pressure smashes up against a tooth or teeth and you feel excruciating pain. the pain gets so bad that it shocks your nerves from your brain down throughout the rest of your body, and you get a headache, earache, backache, footache, handache, stomachache, and the worst d**n toothache mankind can imagine. i heard one lady say she'd rather be in labor, lol

p.s.. it probably comes because you don't take care of your gums by not flossing and bad food gets in your gums and infects it and it's all downhill from there

Answer 2

due to decay entering into the pulp where the nerves & blood vessels are & infecting it.
