Do i have a tooth abscess?!


Question: Do i have a tooth abscess!?
i have a bad wisdom tooth that's been giving me ALOT of pain when i look at it (sorry ahead of time) the wisdom tooth is broken down to the gum line and in the hole is a tiny bump that hurts when pressed on!. It hurts to chew and close my mouth and now my lymph node is tender, i have never had an abscess i always thought that an abscess was just on the outside of the gum and the pic i see they are bigger than this tiny bump, is it an abscess that i have!? If so since its in the wisdom tooth will they extract it or is it best for them to save it!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
if the bump is inside the tooth itself it sounds like a pulp pollup!. this is an unusual but not rare reaction to pulpal invasion of bacteria!. If the bump is on the gums then it sounds like a routine abscess!. as far as wisdom teeth go, with infections, when in doubt!.!.!.rip them out!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
