Hi, I am a 49 years old male and have this boil on my gums near my 2nd and 3rd molar. I did have a root canal treatment a few years back. The boil constantly keeps reappearing in the same place causing me pain and discomfort every few months. It disappears only to reappear a few months later. Hoping to know what it is and ways to get rid of it. Is it something to worry about? The root canal I underwent was approximately 7 years ago and the boil has been coming and going shortly after the treatment. This boil has troubled me for so many years by appearing every few months. Please help. Is it anything serious?
