Swollen face: A swollen face as a result of any dental infection can be resolved with proper appropriate dental treatment and antibiotic coverage along with your own body's healing power. The cause and the extent of the problem will determine how best to treat it.

See a dentist ASAP: Unlike some other types of infection, a dental or gum abscess will not get better on its own and must be treated by a dentist. Do not delay.
