A 1-year-old female Slow loris was presented with swelling of left nasal bridge. On physical examination, fracture of left upper canine tooth was found. Cytologic and radiographic examination on the lesion revealed bacterial infection and pulpitis, respectively. The bacteria were identified as Streptococcus gordonii by culture and molecular diagnosis. After removal of damaged tooth and administration of antibiotics, the abscess was resolved.
