Infected gums are painful and necessitates treatment.
Infected gums are often found with periodontitis, the appearance of the 3rd molars or a situation requiring a root canal procedure.
Infected gums are characterised by a flow of pus – a bad-smelling, whitish-yellow liquid – coming from a hole in the gums or a gingival crevice.
