The white mass you are seeing is likely a periapical abscess or a pus-filled swelling caused by the severe decay of your tooth. Even without pain, the infection is active and can spread to the jawbone if left untreated.
Next Steps
The tooth is grossly decayed and likely requires an extraction followed by a curettage of the infected area. You should consult a dentist immediately for a clinical examination and an IOPA X-ray to confirm the extent of the infection.Immediate treatment is required.
Health Tips
Do not try to prick or squeeze the white mass yourself as it can worsen the infection. Avoid chewing on that side until you see a dentist..
