Yes, a tooth abscess is a bacterial infection. You have many species of bacteria in your mouth and this is the cause of one of those abscess.
An absess is a pocket of infection. The area swells up, feels hot, and is very painful.
I had a friend with a similar problem and his dentist told him he had to wait until the infection was gone because it is very dangerous to operate on an absess tooth. It may be painful now but eventually it will be over and if you risk it and do the operation too soon it could result in worse pain than before. My friends dentist told him removing an absess tooth can actually kill you from infection and whatever else.
Abscessed tooth only happens for three reasons; when teeth are damaged such as an untreated cavity, a person brushed their teeth properly, and lastly the gum diseases. Those are the three causes to an abscessed tooth.
The biggest animal tooth in the world was from the saber tooth tiger which lived in the ice age.
