Needs attention: You can't let this rest without treatment. You have a facial infection starting in the wisdom tooth root which can spread rapidly and be very painful, destructive and occasionally lethal. As soon as you can, see your family doctor, an acute care clinic or an emergency room. Do not wait on this.

Wisdom tooth: See an Oral Surgeon today. Infections can spread and cause serious complications and can even be life threatening. You need to be on a proper regimen of antibiotics immediately and probably have the tooth removed as soon as possible. The Oral Surgeon can go over all the details with you and answer all your questions. Delaying treatment will only make things worse.
