In this condition, an
infection generally occurs at the base of the tooth near the gums. It leads to
a pus filled region under the tooth, causing extreme pain. It causes a severe
toothache which makes it really very difficult to eat or drink anything. The pus
may grow in size and cause even more problems. However, since it is an
infection, the body’s immunity takes charge and works on controlling the
infection. Some relief can be obtained by trying things at home and taking rest.
