Unfortunately this happened to me again very recently. It's so depressing. And I'm having pain still in the quadrant it came from. My teeth are a major panic area in my life. I hope you will get the infection under control, Man. I keep remembering that bad teeth and infections can cause blood poisoning. Looks like this may also be the case with the one I recently lost. There was no pain or blood, so beyond swishing with salt water I didn't do anything for the gum area.
