I have sollwn, red, and around the tooth gum, it produces pus like stuff, what type of infection could this be?
It is either a periodontal abscess, a periodontal infection, or a combined periodontal/endodontic problem. You should receive some treatment, otherwise you will lose the tooth because this infection will cause bone loss around the tooth.
