Welcome to the staging ground for new communities! Each proposal has a description in the "Descriptions" category and a body of questions and answers in "Incubator Q&A". You can ask questions (and get answers, we hope!) right away, and start new proposals.

Why can't the body clear / drain a periapical tooth abscess on its own? [closed] Question
Closed as community not specified by Monica Cellio on Nov 19, 2023 at 21:43
This question is missing a tag for an active community proposal. If the proposal this question is part of exists, please add the tag and the question can be reopened. If the proposal does not yet exist, please start an entry in the Descriptions category to describe the intended community. Descriptions can be fleshed out over time.
This question was closed; new answers can no longer be added. Users with the reopen privilege may vote to reopen this question if it has been improved or closed incorrectly.
Every single article I've read about periapical tooth abscess (including the one on this previous link) states that it won't go away without treatment.
I mean it's just hard for me to understand how, according to the current medical consensus, even a fully healthy human body, well-equipped with fighting infections can still succumb to an internal abscess without surgical intervention.
Please explain and/or cite a medical paper, book, etc. that goes into the details why these abscesses cannot be cleared on their own.
