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.

Oral disease: Both tooth and gum disease. Requires professional care. Will not self cure, nor will it respond to OTCs. Please call a local Dentist for emergency care. You're dealing with virulent infections.Call now.
