How much time will an abscess in my gum last?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hard to say..: Is this abscess being treated by a dentist? If not, then it can last a very, very long time (until the pain becomes unbearable and you have the tooth extracted). Seek the care of a local dentist to resolve your problem.
