Any tooth abscess is caused by bacteria colonizing the root of a tooth. The bacteria “eat” or disintegrate the tissues of and around the tooth, creating a cavity, which the body then floods with immune cells. The resultant fluid, called “pus,” is usually white or off-white and has a foul odor. The odor is by-product of the bacterial infection.

Cats can experience tooth problems due to the kind of food that they take or general dental infection that may exist in their dental structure. It’s easy to tell when your cat has a dental problem because most of them tend to be less active and don’t enjoy their food as before. When you notice a tooth problem in your cat, the best way to deal with it is to have a professional vet do a cat tooth extraction. This is a perfect way to manage oral disease in the cat and keep it from further infections.
