Dental neglect: As you alre3ady know, damaged/infected teeth cannot repair themselves. A little problem 8 year's ago has become a more serious problem now. That infection is spreading unabated to all your other organs. OTC nSaids, primarily Ibuprofen/advil/motrin/nurofen, may dull the pain until you get to your Dentist for appropriate care. cold compresses may help. Good luck
