Dental Treatment: Apparently you haven't been seen by a dentist for quite some time. It appears that your molar has severely decayed and you now have a festering infection in your gingiva and most probably the bone. You need to call a local dentist and be seen ASAP to have the tooth treated or extracted. This will not resolve on its own, nor will pills solve your problem. Please call today.
