A member asked:
My face is swollen beside my nose on one side. i was fine last night. only other symptom is a tender front tooth. how serious is this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible Abscess: The tender tooth needs to be evaluated. There's a very strong possibility there is an abscess, either from a necrotic nerve or periodontal issues. If so, it is serious. Need to see a dentist immediately since infections like this can travel quite quickly to other parts of your body.
