  • Can a tooth abscess be seen on an X-ray?

    Yes, it can especially if it's been infected for a while. There is an electric device - pulp tester that passes a small charge through the tooth and if the nerve is necrotic or "dead", he won't feel the tingle. Other signs include discolored enamel and a periodic bubble above the tooth high up under his lip. READ MORE
