Infection: Likely a dental infection. Other more serious problems possible. See DDS or oral surgeon ASAP.

Dangerous: You probably have a spreading infection that is beginning to damage tissues other than the involved tooth. This will not self-cure. Please see your General Dentist, an Endodontists (root canal specialist), or a specialist Oral Surgeon immediately.
