Choices: You have several choices: 1. Live with it 2. Take pain medication and hope it goes away (it won't) 3. Spend time researching this subject on the internet. 4. See a dentist for a diagnosis and treatment. Personally I think the smart thing to do would be choice #4 and asap!

See a dentist: Dental abscess infection may spread to the face, brain or neck. Direct spread from a dental source can account for up to 10% of brain abscesses. See your dentist for a preventive treatment. Take care.
