Like a boil or pea-sized, yellow fluid-filled sac on the gum near the root of the tooth. But many times, you may not even see it.
It can look like a small pimple or swelling on the gums, that is sometimes painful.
It looks kinda like a pimple or it may not be visible to the eye.
A gum abscess looks like a swelling that is often red and it is telling you to call your dentist right away.
Very often like a big pimple or swelling.
A typical "gum abcess" presents with inflamed or "puffy" gums, pain and bleeding. Brush and floss area thoroughly and see your general dentist for evaluation.
An abscess usually looks like a raised blister. It can also have what appears to be a white head on it with or without pus
Gum tissue that is red and swollen and it may bleed when you brush. Pus may ooze out of it if you press it. May or may not be painful,
