This : This is indicative that there is an active infection is present in the mouth. The fact that the infection is draining indicates that your body is mounting a response to the infection as the pus is a collection of white blood cells that have come to the site of the infection to fight it. The fact that the infection is draining into the mouth lessens the possibility that it will spread deeper into the tissues. That being said, you need to contact your dentist immediately so that you can be placed on antibiotics and the source of the infection can be definitively treated. This will not get better on its own.

Yes, : Yes, a draining puss in the mouth is a bad thing. One or some of the teeth in that area are infected and this is the body's way of telling your husband that an active infection is happening. Since it is draining, there might not be much pain, but the infection, if left untreated long term, can do real damage, such as loss of teeth and bone resorption. He needs to see a dentist soon.

Please : Please make an appointment with a dentist right away. A puss pocket is a sign of active infection. Infections in the head and neck area spread very fast and are not to be taken lightly. It is a bad thing. Please get it taken care of right away. Good luck!
