[|Human|] Hi. MY boyfriend had an abcessed tooth and he had a hole on his jaw/check where puss was coming out. The problem is its been about a year and a half and the hole (with a bump on the jaw) and the puss is still there .Could you help?                   -worried
[|AI|]  Hello, Thanks for consulting ChatDoctorRead your query as your friend had abscess in tooth this pus formation can be due to carious tooth or due to poor periodontal condition. If pus formation is due to carious tooth then treatment can be done is root canal treatment and if pus formation is due to periodontal problem then go for scaling and curettage.  I will suggest you to do warm saline rinses 2 -3 time a day, brush your teeth twice daily and consult dentist for oral examination and treatment. Hope this will help you.
