Dental abscess: 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.

So many: There are so many possibilities it would take more room than the 400 characters allocated to list them all. You can't diagnose over the internet, you need to be physically examined and perhaps x-rayed. Please call your Dentist now and schedule an examination ASAP. At 18 if you don't drink or do drugs, chances of cancer small. Chances of wisdom tooth involvement more likely.
