You should not: But You should seek help ASAP, the infection is not getting better for sure. If you can not get to see your dentist right away, by tomorrow, you should at least go to the ER.

No: I do not think you are going to die from this particular condition but I would recommend going to an urgent care today to get an antibiotic. You will also have to see a dentist to have the tooth removed or treated.

See your dentist: to drain the dental abscess. If not treated, a serious dental abscess can eventually kill. The infection may spread to your jaw, cheeks, sinus and to other areas of your head and neck. See any dentist for examination, x-rays and treatment. Remember, the only way to cure a dental abscess is with dental treatment.
