A tooth abscess may be asymptomatic for years before causing a toothache. The infection causes a collection of pus in the jaw to grow destroying surrounding bone and tissue. Some people may feel pain, others won’t have any symptoms. However, regular dental exams can spot asymptomatic abscesses so that you can receive treatment for them. Moral of the story, get your checkup X-rays when prompted! 😘 .........#dentist #dental #dentistry #dentalhygienist #dentalhygiene #dds #rdh #rda #hygienist #den
