Dental Abcess : You may have a dental infection but could also be suffering from a sinus infection or a virus. I would see a dentist or doctor as soon as possible. Go to the emergency department at local hospital if you have a temperature higher than 101f or have difficulty breathing or swallowing.

I bet sinus: If your teeth weren't sensitive to hot /cold/sweets/chewing pressure before all the other symptoms you've described, i would suggest tat your tooth pain may be secondary to a sinus infection/flu. The headache/fever/eye socket pain are typical of the flu. The jaw and cheek pain could be from a sinus infection. Have you had nasal discharge/congestion?

See Dentist ASAP: See your dentist for examination, x-rays and treatment. A tooth infection will not go away on its own. Moreover, the infection can spread so it's important not to ignore the symptoms.
