The nerves carry blood to them that keeps the teeth alive and strong. If the blood supply of that nerve is compromised or affected you will notice periapical abscesses. There are many types of dental abscesses that can cause much damage to the teeth.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Types:<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are two types of dental abscesses that people more commonly talk about.

This cyst ultimately drains into the gums and the mouth although you will see bumps and pimple-like sources on the gum tissue. It is called gum abscess and periapical tooth abscess.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_is_it_Caused\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How is it Caused?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many causes of this disorder. The most common of them is the formation of cavities. These cavities spread and grow larger and larger by putting off the filling they needed. It will penetrate deep inside the tooth disrupting the tooth structure. The other cause is untreated teeth which causes decay. Moreover, deep cracks and crooks in the teeth are the sources of apres of infection in the oral cavity. Other causes are any traumatic injury to the tooth, sports injury can also cause the breaking of the tooth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Signs_and_Symptoms\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Signs and Symptoms:<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The early signs and symptoms of an abscess may include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sensitivity in Tooth<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Toothache<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cracked Teeth<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An enlarged nerve in Dental X-ray<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Darkening of inner roots of teeth<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tooth decay\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In later stages when the infection gets more severe you will notice signs such as:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bad taste in the mouth<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dislocation of the tooth on applying pressure<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tooth blessing<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Discoloration of tooth<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bumps of tooth<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Swollen red gum tissue<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Diagnosis\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diagnosis:<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The main thing that will let you know about the periapical tooth is the periapical X-ray.
