Absolutely: See a dentist asap to find out what it is. If it's an infection which is quite possible, leaving it untreated may have caused more bone destruction than immediate treatment, and certainly exposes you to the risk of spread and very serious complications!

Lots: And that' she conundrum. There are too many possibilities to deal with here. Know that some are perfectly innocuous, some can be life threatening, and many more in between. 5 most dangerous words in the english language, "maybe it will go away." please call your dentist for an examination, now. You've put it off too long.
