An abscessed tooth begins when the decay or cavity gets down to the the nerve, and after the nerve dies, a localized infection can occur in the form of an abscess. Discover how an infection can move from tooth enamel to a nerve with help from a dentist in this free video on tooth abscesses and dental health.

  • @lexichronicle2 Good i left it for years and then it got to the point of i was turning 18 their in may and i was leaving school i was like i need to get it done and tbh getting the tooth out wasnt even sore :/ I had just got it into my head that the dentist was really scary and then i realised i was carrying around childish fears, But to get my tooth out i had to get 10 injections around the tooth it was that badly infected so one wee injection to fix a filling or ten and a tooth removed lol <3

  • @chloecherry26 I had an emergency filling, went back to university and my tooth kept aching. I assumed that was my wisdom teeth moving. Kept aching more and more over the months. Must have not been cleaned out fully. Went to the dentist, x-rayed, infected at the root -> pulled out.

    One of my other fillings spontaneously fell out a few weeks ago. I just haven't gotten round to getting it fixed, but me randomly finding this video + your comment mean I'll go and get it sorted this week. Thanks.

  • I got an abscess after chickening out after my filling came out, and i didnt go to the dentist and in the end i had to get the tooth out, so i advise all young people to go to the dentist even if your scared, <3

  • My brother has a few bad teeth. I was wondering if an infection in a tooth can cause any abnormalities in the brain? My brother has been acting very strange. We got a CT scan done, and it showed some abnormalities...I am really concerned. A response will be appreciated. Thanks.

  • Yeah the only worrying thing about any root canal is the cost! I have no problem getting them all done but the cost is terrible. Poor are toothless by 50 - the rich are all smiley whites for life

  • hello it would seem iv had an Abscess for many years now with out realising it, i get this whit bubble that pusses every now and then followed by blood it would never hurt tho. why is this? could my root be dead?? im due for a root canal treatment and a tad worried but needs to be done.
