Gum boil or dental abscess in children can be attributed to numerous causes. It is normal for kids to have swelling on the gum line. If your child has cavities in teeth, it can be one of the main cause of dental abscess. This happens when the tooth is completely rotten.
Treatment varies, depending on what caused the abscess. Generally, treatment involves draining the pus, either with root canal treatment, removing the affected tooth or gum treatment. This type of treatment should not be too painful, as local anaesthetic will be used to numb the affected area of your mouth. Unlike some other types of infection, a dental abscess will not get better on its own and must be treated by a dentist.
