Tooth infections are very painful and can spread to the soft tissue causing swelling.  The significance of an oral infection due a decayed tooth is very important.  Soft tissue infections spread rapidly and can affect vital structures in their path.  Difficulty breathing, swallowing, and visual disturbances can occur.  Tooth removal or incision and drainage of the affected region may be required.  Followed by pain meds and antibiotics for an extended period time.  The appropriate measure of treatment would require visiting an oral surgeon.
