Can i have a gum abscess without any symptoms?
4 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Gum abscess: Gum abscesses typically present with swelling and painful. Most of the time they develop without any symptoms until it flares up. An abscess is an acute situation. Chronic infections are less likely to be noticed until they become acute.

Yes, you can: What makes you believe you have an abscess if you have no symptoms? Symptoms from medical issues often manifest themselves when there is a major problem. High blood pressure and diabetes don't have many early symptoms.. You'd never know you had a problem unless you were examined.

Absolutely: Gum disease in it's earliest stages is "silent." if you think you have a problem, seek consultation with a pro. See your general dentist or the prosthodontist (gum specialist) that he recommends. For peace of mind call now.
