Abscess: The internal pressure from the abscess is impinging on the inferior alveolar nerve. This must be immediately treated by a local dentist, endodontist, or oral surgeon. The abscess can spread under your tongue resulting in airway obstruction. Left for an extended period, the pressure can cause irreversible damage to the tissues.
