In my opinion, swelling and a possible infection in such close proximity to your brain is nothing to take chances with.
you're absolutely correct. if the swelling is significant enough to cause distortion to your facial features you don't want to fuck around; infections can spread if left untreated and surface treatments like coconut and tea tree oil likely won't work if the infection has moved away from the surface to your jaw line.

def visit your dentist tomorrow, if the pain is really bad tonight pick up some chloroseptic spray and sensodyne toothpaste. coat the area with the toothpaste and use the spray as needed, both are wicked for temporarily relieving dental pain
