Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
As you are mentioning that now white puss is coming out from gums, it looks that now the infection of tooth has spread to the apex of the tooth and abscess has formed.
You have to get a root canal treatment done which will resolve the infection.
Hope it will help you.
