WHAT IS A GUM BOIL?
A gum boil or SINUS is the easiest path of escape for the infection at the end of the root.

The gum boil may remain swollen all the time or may intermittently swell then disappear. This is a `TIME BOMB’ – waiting to explode into an acute abscess at any time, with pain and swelling.
