Question:
I am in serious pain and don't know what it is. I know that I have a tooth problem for sometime now because my filling came out. The back of my molar is real swollen. I am clueless as to what this is. It has never hurt like this before and I have like a lump of somekind on the inner part of my cheek near my gums. ...Christie in AZ

Answer:
Christie, I'm not sure what you you're expecting, but you should have seen a dentist a long time ago. I don't understand why you would delay treatment for so long and expect someone to help you with words. Your infection can get seriously worse and the cost of treatment will only escalate. You need to find a dentist or oral surgeon before you get deeper in the quick sand.
