  Dental abscesses or periapical infections typically arise secondary to dental caries (tooth rot related to poor dental hygiene), trauma, or failed dental root canal treatment. […] Dental caries, trauma, and poor dental hygiene are the most frequent causes of dental abscesses. A breakdown in the protective enamel of teeth allows oropharyngeal bacteria to enter the tooth cavity (pulp cavity), causing a local infection. […] Another cause that predisposes individuals to a dental abscess is a partially erupted tooth, most commonly a wisdom tooth, where bacteria get trapped between the crown and soft tissues, causing inflammation. Other causes include genetic causes such as imperfect amelogenesis, which predisposes individuals to weakened enamel and makes them more susceptible to wear. Mechanical causes tooth grinding to break down tooth enamel. Medical conditions like Sjogren syndrome cause dry mouth, accelerating oropharyngeal microbial growth. Chemical irritants such as smoke from methamphetamine, immunosuppression arising from chemotherapy, or chronic immunosuppressive medical conditions such as HIV/AIDs can predispose individuals to dental caries.

  https://azuredentalsf.com/blog/tooth-abscess-causes-symptoms-treatment/

  Tooth abscess is a bacterial infection that causes a pocket of pus to form around your tooth. The most common cause of a dental abscess is an untreated cavity or tooth decay. When bacteria enter a decayed area of your teeth, they multiply and create toxins that irritate nearby tissues. This irritation leads to swelling and inflammation of the gums and surrounding tissue. As the infection spreads, it may reach the bone and cause a tooth abscess. […] If your tooth breaks off or cracks, it will allow bacteria into the root canal system. Once inside, these bacteria can infect the nerve endings and cause a painful dental abscess. […] A blow to your mouth can damage the enamel on your teeth and expose the soft pulp underneath. Bacteria then get access to the pulp and start producing toxins. These toxins irritate the nerves and lead to tooth abscesses. […] Gum disease (periodontal disease) can cause the gums to pull away from the teeth and leave pockets where bacteria can hide. If left untreated, gum disease can lead to dental abscesses.

  A dental abscess is pus buildup that forms on the inside of the gums or teeth due to infection. This abscess typically happens as a symptom of bacterial infection. […] Bacterial infection is what causes your tooth abscess. […] A dental abscess is a symptom or complication due to the presence of a dental infection. This is why antibiotics are important in helping its treatment. However, its presence suggests that more drastic measures be taken. Bacteria that are usually present in plaque tend to infect and make their way to the tooth via the gums, periodontal pocket, or cavity-filled enamel. […] Bacteria can swim into your tooth through holes caused by dental caries or tooth decay that form on the enamel or hard outer layer of your teeth. These caries then break down the softer layer of tissue under the enamel known as dentin. Once the decay progresses, the bacteria will eventually penetrate the softest inner pulp of your tooth.

• #20 Tooth Abscess Causes, Symptoms, and Treatments

  https://www.thantakit.com/tooth-abscess-causes-symptoms-and-treatments/

  Plaque-based bacteria will first infect the gums, leading to the periodontal disease known as periodontitis. Gingival abscess can form during this time, which is more treatable than its periodontal equivalent. Your gums will undergo inflammation, thus making the surrounding tissue of the tooth root separate from the tooth’s base. […] A periodontal pocket, which is a tiny bit of space, is formed whenever the periodontal ligament separates from the tooth root, resulting in loose teeth. This pocket can get quite dirty and hard to clean, resulting in bacterial buildup. Once the pocket buildup worsens, that’s when a periodontal abscess is formed.

  An abscess is an accumulation of pus, housed in the gum or at the base of a tooth, resulting from a bacterial infection. […] Periapical abscess often results from untreated tooth decay. If it is not managed, it progresses to the dental pulp and eventually reaches the nerve.
