An abscessed tooth is a tooth that is in great distress and is usually sensitive and painful. Occasionally, an abscess may be detected on an x-ray and treated before you feel any discomfort. Left untreated, an abscessed tooth may compromise the immune system and in some cases may become life-threatening.
