It : It is difficult to diagnose the problem without seeing the teeth and evaluating what was previously done to them. It sounds like there might be an infection present. I would recommend seeing a dentist immediately to evaluate the situation. The sooner the better. Many times an area of infection could begin to destroy the bone supporting the teeth in question along with adjacent teeth and thereby compromising the whole area.

Sorry : Sorry to hear about your boyfriend's problem. However the only thing that he should do, and should have done long ago, is go and see a dentist. The longer he waits, the worst and more expensive will the problems get. I wish him and you the best of luck, and I am sorry that this is the only information i can give you.

This : This is not a situation to fool with. Any infection is serious and needs immediate attention. Have him call and get evaluated before it's too late!
