Answer 2

Hello, when you have a really sore bump come up next to a tooth and that tooth gives you pain, you need to have it Xrayed to determine if you have an abscess working. Sometimes an abscess works it way up the side of a tooth until it breaks through the gum tissue surface...When that happens the tooth may quit hurting...pain from an abscess is created as a rule by the gas that is formed by the infection and if that gas has no place to escape it builds pressure and presses on the nerve trunk and that causes pain...You need to see a dentist ASAP....An abscess can deposit infection directly into your blood stream and if your a person with heart problems your at high risk so see about it right away. Good luck and I wish you well.
