Yes, wisdom tooth: A tooth pain 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. Visit a dentist ASAP for definitive diagnosis and treatment.

Pain: It's not food, but the bacteria in the hole (cavity) that is infecting the nerve of hoed tooth. You need to be seen by a Dentist, immediately.
