See your pedodontist: Regardless, untreated baby teeth abscess can affect the development of the permanent teeth. See your pedodontist as soon as possible.

Abscess: An abscessed tooth can affect the growth and development of the permanent tooth. I cannot tell you why she still has an abscess, I can tell you that she needs to be seen by either a pedodontist or a general dentist experienced treating children. Don't wait any longer.
