When you notice a pimple above a tooth on gum tissue, it usually means the tooth is abscessed (contains pus). It is not necessary that it will hurt.
When cavity in tooth starts it progress gradually, can easily be detected in routine dental checkups and restored with a simple filling.
Else it will progress to involve tooth nerve leading to tooth pain, pus, swelling, cyst. Don't delay schedule your routine dental check up now.

Hello lybrate-user.
The abscess can be cured by homoeopathic treatment.
But the carried tooth cannot be repaired.
You can consult me at Lybrate for homoeopathic treatment.

Dear lybrate user, tooth abscess is usually accompanied with swelling, sensitivity to hot and cold and throbbing pain in the tooth or foul smell and salty taste in the mouth. The cause of abscess is tooth decay so the tooth involved is never healthy, it is decayed. The abscess needs to be drained and proper root canal treatment is required to prevent the infection from spreading to the jaw.
