A tooth abscess differs from a gum abscess by the source of the original infection. The tooth abscess (or periapical abscess) originates from the pulp of the tooth and exits out the tooth's apex at the bottom of the root. A gum abscess (or periodontal abscess) starts in a gum pocket outside of the tooth next to the root.

In the second of a six part guide to splicing, Sailing Today takes a look at a double braid eye splice, a neat-looking but tricky splice. Double braid lines with a polyester core are commonly used for a variety of low stretch running rigging roles such as halyards, reefing and control lines. This splice is a real money saver as there are potentially a lot of these splices within a yachtâs running rigging. Donât try your first time on used rope. New rope is more slippery and hasnât yet been stretched and compacted between core and cover, so is much easier to work and splice. Also thicker rope is less fiddly to work, with more space between core and cover, so try your first splice on 12mm diameter or larger. See our guide to a three-strand eye-splice here.
