About The Video
In this video, Dr Elyssa discusses a common but often misunderstood dental issue: a small pimple or swelling on the gums. While it may appear harmless, she explains that this is usually a sign of infection inside the tooth, caused by deep decay, cracks or bacteria reaching the nerve canal.
Dr Elyssa walks viewers through how a dental abscess forms and why it drains through the gums. She also explains how root canal treatment addresses the underlying infection, using local anaesthesia and thorough cleaning to remove bacteria and allow healing. The video helps viewers recognise when to seek dental care early.
This video focuses on helping patients understand why gum swellings should not be ignored. Dr Elyssa explains that a pimple-like lesion on the gums is often a drainage point for infection originating inside the tooth. When bacteria enter through decay, deep fillings or cracks, pus builds up and finds a path out through the surrounding tissues.
She clarifies that while the swelling may reduce temporarily, the infection remains unless treated properly. Root canal treatment removes the infected nerve tissue, cleans the canal system and places medication to eliminate bacteria. By treating the source of the infection rather than just the symptom, healing can occur within days. The video encourages viewers to seek prompt care for toothaches or gum swellings before the condition worsens.
