Get to dentist: Swelling can mean an infection is present. Any delay in treating your condition may result in a serious condition. Sometimes you can not help yourself. Get professional care quickly before it worsens.

See your dentist now: Any swelling in your cheek or gums is never good. You should see a dentist asap. The swelling will get more severe if left untreated, as will your pain.
