Deep Decay: The decay in your tooth appears to be deep. The bacteria residing in this cavity are producing acids and toxins that are irritating the nerve (if it is still alive) and the bone surrounding the tooth. The pain impulses are traveling along parallel nerves to the other parts of your head. You need to see a dentist for treatment ASAP

Infection: Diseased tissues within the root canal chambers in the tooth swell against the walls of the pulp chamber. Requires definitive dental treatment to "cure." Time is not your friend, call a Dentist.
