What Causes Puss Filled Boil Near To Teeth?

My daughter is 3 yrs old. She has a puss filled blister, boil, or something not sure. It's been there for a while. She doesn't complain of pain until I brush her teeth. Her front tooth is turnIng a slight grey color. What could be the cause? How do I treat it? Do I need a dr? Or a dentist?

Hi
Yes she needs dentists attention as you mentioned tooth is turning into grey color it means a decay tooth with infection.usually swelling or blister whatever if pus is draining then there will not be any pain. Its better you would have mentioned about the tooth status whether it is mobile or not. Anyways it will be better if you consult the doctor. Hope I have clarified your query
