A gum boil is a small, raised swelling on the gum, often filled with pus. For patients from Chandlodia, it may appear suddenly, feel tender, and sometimes burst to release a salty or bitter discharge before swelling up again.
A boil is a sign that infection has collected in one spot. It may come from a gum pocket, known as a periodontal abscess, or from an infected tooth. Either way, it needs to be checked, because the infection underneath usually remains even when the swelling goes down.
Do not try to squeeze or pierce the swelling at home. Rinse gently with warm salt water and keep brushing the area softly. Book a visit as soon as you can, especially if there is increasing pain, swelling spreading to the face or a bad taste that will not go away. Pus around a tooth is a sign of active infection that should not be ignored.
It is also worth noting where the boil sits and whether the nearby tooth feels tender when you bite. This information helps us work out whether the infection is coming from the gum pocket or from inside the tooth, which changes how it is treated.
We examine the area, measure the gum pocket and take a dental X-ray to find the source. A periodontal abscess is usually treated by draining the pus and cleaning the pocket thoroughly under local anaesthesia. Laser treatment may be used to disinfect the pocket. If the gum problem is advanced, further gum treatment follows once the acute infection settles. When a tooth is the source, the tooth itself is treated. In some cases where the tooth cannot be kept, extraction may be advised.
