I Have A Boil On My Gums Near A Broken Tooth, Is It An Abscess?


I first discovered it about a week ago. Thinking it was a result of eating something hot, I popped it but it returned a few nights ago. There’s no pain or pus but there was some blood when I popped it again this time.

    You should go to a dentist to check up on the boil which is most probably abscessd due to the rotten broken tooth beside it. The dentist may recommend a root canal treatment whereby the root is being removed to prevent future toothache of that particular tooth before a filling could be done on it provided the tooth can still be saved.
