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?

Positive Negative

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
