A dental fistula is a small opening that forms on the gum or cheek to allow pus to drain when there is a dental infection such as an abscess. It is a kind of "valve" through which the body tries to limit the infection. Remember that dental fistulas allow the pus to drain, but in no way eliminate the condition itself. Hence the importance of consulting a doctor.
