Yesterday as soon as I woke up I had a deep dull pain between my lower back molar and my ear. It was intermittent all day. I assumed it was TMJ and didn't fuss.
Today I woke up and the pain was gone but I've got this weird swelling on the gum behind my back molar, and my cheek is puffy???
It doesn't hurt a lot but I'm really scared it might be an infection?
Obviously it's a bank holiday so I can't see a dentist for at least 4 days.
EDIT: I will add I was probably too aggressive when I brushed it yesterday.
(the back tooth is quite stained and I need to book a scaling)
