Is it possible to have an abscessed tooth without swelling?

Question

Is it possible to have an abcessed tooth without swelling? I have had a toothache and think I probably have an exposed nerve. It is also terribly painful over my eye on the same side. It is actually very painful on that whole side of my face. I am worried it could affect other parts. Is that possible?

It is possible to have an abscessed tooth with out swelling. It sounds like something else is going on besides a bad tooth. I suggest you get to your dentist and have dental problems figured out and then off to your doctor to find out the other cause of your pain. Good Luck
