Gum infections are called gingivitis. There are also intections from teeth abscesses that can create a fistula in the gums. The infection from the tooth creaties an escape pathway in the bone. Exudate or pus can be extruded from the fistula. This usually indicates the need for a root canal to sterilize the tooth which is the source of the infection. If the infection erodes a large area of bone then the tooth may require extraction. An infection in the bone resulting from an infected tooth will not resolve with antibiotics alone.
Major bone infections can lead to serious infections in other areas such as chest wall or heart. These can be life threatening.
If you think you have an infection in your mouth he sure to see your dentist right away.
