See dentist ASAP: Pus coming out of your gum is not normal or healthy. You need to have this treated before the infection spreads. Dental infections left untreated not only can cause tooth loss but can lead to increased risk of heart attack and stroke. If they spread to the rest of the body they can even cause death. Do not wait seek treatment from a dentist ASAP!

Advanced gingivitis: Puss coming from gums can be a sign that you are at risk for, or already have, advanced gum disease. The bacteria and other particles, constantly form a sticky, colorless toxic “plaque” on teeth causing the gums to become inflamed and to easily bleed. This is a serious problem, which should be checked by a dentist. The good news is that this condition is curable. Call your dentist today!

Puss: Puss is an acute infection and a very serious matter as it can spread to other parts of the body and can even be fatal. See your dentist immediately.
