How does an acute abscess develop into a chronic abscess?

In: Dental Health [Edit categories]

Answer:

Your body will fight the infection, building a thin wall around the end of the root, and containing the pus that is leaking . In many cases the initial pain and swelling go away, but the chronic abscess can become acute again very quickly if your immune system becomes run-down.
