Is there any danger of root abscess?

Root abscess is often dangerous.

First, it causes severe pain. This pain is usually persistent and intense, which can seriously affect the quality of life of the patient, causing interference with eating, sleeping, etc., causing great discomfort to the patient. Second, if left untreated, the abscess may spread further. The infection may spread to surrounding tissues, causing a more extensive inflammatory reaction, and may even lead to maxillofacial space infection, causing facial swelling, pain, and in severe cases, may also affect important physiological functions such as breathing. Moreover, long-standing periapical abscess may cause damage to alveolar bone. It may lead to bone resorption, defect, affect the stability of teeth, and eventually may lead to tooth loosening or even loss.

once a root abscess is found, it should be treated as soon as possible. Professional diagnosis and treatment should not be taken lightly, so as not to bring more serious consequences.
