See a dentist ASAP: A tooth abscess won't go away without treatment and the infection may spread to your jaw, cheeks, sinus and to other areas of your head and neck. Dentist will treat a tooth abscess by treating the cause and getting rid of the infection. See your dentist ASAP.

See Dentist: Swelling/pain source has to be investigated to know the appropriate treatment. Most probable cause is bacterial, viral, or fungal infection of tooth/teeth and/or surrounding tissues
