See dentist: Pain for a week is too long to wait. Please consult a dentist, before things get even worse. You may take over the counter pain relief as a temporary measure.

Pain: You have infection and it's spreading. Please, you know exactly what to do...see a Dentist, Endodontist, or Oral Surgeon, immediately.
