• throbbing pain in the affected tooth and severe pain on touching, on biting and chewing
• red, tender swelling of the gum over the root of the tooth and loosening of the affected tooth
• release of foul-tasting pus into the mouth

How to treat a gum or tooth abscess

A gum or tooth abscess (often miss-spelt abcess) is when you get a bacterial infection in your gums; during this process, you will normally get a collection of ”pus” forming (this simply means your body is having a hard time fighting off the infection)!

You can dramatically help your body and immune system out by applying a strong anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal agent (such as Oram Plus) onto the area of infection… and it should start to clear up nicely within a few days
