Face hurt: Tooth caries might cause regional facial pain or bad swelling when there is infection of the tooth. It is because the cavity is a suitable harbor for oral bacterial to park and grow in the mouth. Most cavities does not hurt and can be easily repaired. It is important to visit your dentist regularly.
