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

See a dentist: You need to see a dentist for a proper evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment. Do not self diagnose and self medicate. This can be very dangerous and cause problems.
