Needs evaluation: Could be an endodontic or periodontal problem. Cannot tell without an exam and radiographs or knowing the condition of the tooth. See a local dentist.

Infection: May be gum infection, tooth infection, or combined lesion. Please see your Dentist. The sooner this is treated the less chance of the infection spreading.
