    Fluids can gather in the root of a tooth if infection occurs it. An infected tooth tooth, also known as a periodontal infection, is an infection of this type.

    It's crucial to visit your dentist if you suspect you get one of these infections because they don't go away out of their own. its my suggestion. Everyone have own perception.

    It is a normal. Within a week things will return to normal. Although there may appear a long lump on the gum line if the infection was severe.
