The symptoms of an abscessed tooth are easy to see, as they include severe pain in the affected area, red or swollen gums, a bad taste in your mouth, swelling around the area or the jaw, and possibly a high fever.
This is because the abscessed tooth is actually filled with pus causing a bacterial infection in the tissues surrounding the tooth.
In an emergency, such as an abscessed tooth, members can see a dentist immediately because there''s almost never a waiting period.
