See a Dentist: Cheek bite usually resolves itself and is the most common cause. Others are related to salivary glands and autoimmune conditions for which i would recommend seeing your dentist.

See a dentist ASAP: A tooth abscess won't go away without treatment. A dental abscess is a collection of pus that forms in your teeth or gums as a result of a bacterial infection. Take Tylenol (acetaminophen) or NSAIDs OTC for pain control. Dentist will treat a tooth abscess by draining it and getting rid of the infection. See your dentist ASAP.
