Possible Infection: It sounds like that tooth may becoming infected. Please have your dentist take a look as soon as possible!

Infection: most common cause of your symptoms is an infected (abscessed) tooth. Your "bad tooth" is probably an infected (abscessed) tooth. Please see Dentist immediately, spreading infection can be quite serious.
