Dental problems such as an abscessed tooth, or periapical abscess, is a painful condition caused by infection in a badly damaged or decayed tooth. Once the nerve dies in a badly damaged tooth, infection can cause a fluid buildup where the soft pulp tissue lies in the center of the tooth. The pressure and swelling can be quite painful.
