Hi doc, good morning, i have a tooth ache, it has a hole in it. it is swelling in my gums. just yesterday, also my cheeks got swollen too. how can i treat this doc?

See a Dentist, ASAP: A hole in your tooth, dental pain and facial swelling are all serious conditions that need the expert care of a professional- a dentist. There is no way around it and no do it yourself cure...see a dentist ASAP! Good Luck!

Dentist only: Swelling of the checks a sign of bad infection, It can spread even more and cause more pain. Serious infection can become life threatening if not treated immediately by a dentist. If you have a hole in your tooth, in addition to Antibiotic therapy, you may need removing the tooth itself to drain out the infection or performing a root canal treatment and filling the hole. Take care, stay safe.
