Caries underserved, poor oral hygiene, and accidents favor the formation of clusters of pus under the teeth, same as, despite its small size, are source of infection from the bacteria travel through the bloodstream to other body regions . Prevent this disease.

Teeth are not only the white portion and pearl you see when you smile, but have complex structure formed by different layers extending below the surface of the gums (pink tissue soft and moist around them) and that are embedded in the bones of skull and mandible (upper and lower jaw).

Thus, the top and most popular of incisors, canines and molars is the crown, which is itself protected by a layer of hard, shiny, enamel, while the deep and unseen is the root, whose rugged surface called cement. Within each piece, below crown and cement, is a substance similar to bone, dentin, and is located far into the pulp, where blood vessels are housed and nerve endings, respectively, nourish the tooth and keep you informed.In the bottom of the whole apical foramen is located, a small opening through which pass the bloodstream and nerves that reach the pulp, while, all around the root, is located periodontal ligament or periodontium , a tough fibrous membrane that hold the teeth in the jaws and also serves to cushion the pressure generated by chewing.

This description also helps us to understand that dental diseases are not only those we see on the surface, but may be located in the dentin, pulp and periodontium, even in the farthest part of the surface. Precisely in this region, called apical, can form an abscess, nodule or granuloma, ie a set pus (bacteria, dead tissue and cells of defense), because of other problems that have not received adequate attention.

Its gravity is considerable, sometimes, the germs can spread to nearby tissues and jaw bones, as well as heart, lungs and brain, causing dangerous infections.
