Absolutely : That tooth has a chronic abscess that might extended to other adjacent teeth, or cause a massive bone infection calked osteomyelitis , asap is an accurate choice ..

Absolutely: If a dental abscess is capable of draining (like a pimple that pops) it may well be free of any pain. As suggested, this can progress to a serious and difficult to treat infection so it is by far the best to see a dentist and treat the source of the infection to get it to heal asap.
