Like a boil or pea-sized, yellow fluid-filled sac on the gum near the root of the tooth. But many times, you may not even see it.
A gum abscess looks like a swelling that is often red and it is telling you to call your dentist right away.
A typical "gum abcess" presents with inflamed or "puffy" gums, pain and bleeding. Brush and floss area thoroughly and see your general dentist for evaluation.
An abscess usually looks like a raised blister. It can also have what appears to be a white head on it with or without pus
