Tooth Infection by Emergency Dentists Sydney

A painful infection at the root of a tooth or between a gum and a tooth is called a tooth infection. It occurs when bacteria enter the dental pulp through a dental cavity, chip or crack in the tooth. The bacterial infection results in swelling of gums and the formation of pus and if left unattended, the infection can spread from the tooth root to different parts of the body.
