Recovery time from a tooth abscess varies depending on the severity of the infection, the patient's overall health, and how quick the condition is treated. In general, healing can take several days to a few weeks. It may take one to two weeks to recover depending on the severity of the abscess. An abscess on the gums is usually caused by a bacterial infection. Most common causes are tooth decay, gum diseases, dental trauma or injury to the tooth and poor oral hygiene. Sometimes foreign objects stuck between teeth or in gums can also cause infection leading to abscess. Antibiotics, root canal therapy, incision and drainage, and tooth extraction are the treatment options. Regularly practicing good oral hygiene, eating a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals, getting enough rest, and seeing a dentist on a regular basis can all help to speed up healing from a tooth abscess.
