See a dentist: Urgent care will do nothing other than prescribe an antibiotic which will not resolve your problem. Dental infections need to be addressed and treated by a dentist.

Go to your Dentist: Do not delay in getting immediate dental care for this ailment. Failure to treat infected teeth can lead to their being lost and a life time of complications. You probably need root canal treatment.
