Periapical
(root-tip) Abscess
A periapical abscess is usually caused by deep decay or an accident
(trauma to the tooth involving nerve damage). A periapical (root-tip)
abscess is a pocket of infection at the base of a tooth's root. The
tooth becomes abscessed after the pulp (nerve) of the tooth becomes
infected. A periapically abscessed tooth generally requires either
Root Canal
Therapy or an Extraction.
There are cases in which an antibiotic will also be prescribed.
Lateral Abscess
A lateral abscess condition is nearly similar to a periapical abscess,
but develops along the lateral surface of the tooth's root. A lateral
abscess can either be gingival (located near the gum line) or periodontal
(located deeper in the periodontal tissues). In this case, the infection
comes from outside the tooth instead of from within. Since most cases
of lateral abscess are due to periodontitis
(Gum Disease), treatment is part of an overall periodontal
(gum) treatment program.
All Abscesses
An abscessed tooth is usually sensitive or painful. This cause of
discomfort is what normally alerts the patient to the problem. Occasionally,
an abscess may be detected on an X-ray
and treated before the patient experiences any discomfort due to increased
pain. It should not be left untreated, as in certain cases an abscess
may compromise the immune system and in some other cases the situation
may become even life threatening.
