The tooth began to fall out, piece by piece, and was painful at times, but I ignored it. Now,
after it happened to another
tooth almost directly across my bottom
jaw, the first
tooth has begun to hurt to the point that I can not eat on that side. Today, I noticed a small swollen lump directly under the first rotten tooth. I haven't had dental insurance, and just applied when the pain began. It hurts badly, but hasn't pussed or anything like that.
