What are the causes of a dental abscess

03/08/14 12:51 PM

Question: I think I may have a dental abscess but I do not know how I could have gotten one. what is the cause of dental abscess?

Answer: A dental abscess in most cases is a complication of a dental infection. Bacteria, often bacteria present in plaque, infect and make their way into a tooth.  If plaque is not removed by regular and proper tooth brushing and flossing the bacteria may spread within the soft tissue inside the tooth or gums, eventually resulting in an abscess.
