It is certainly rare that someone would expire form a dental abscess. That does not mean you should ignore the problem. I would not wait until the 15th. You should be seen in the next day or so.

Almost 3 and a half years ago my left side of my face did the chipmunk thing. I went to the clinic and they told me that I had an absessed tooth and needed a re root canal.
The swelling went down and I never did anything about it. You dont have to tell me how down right stupid I am. I am well aware.
I am scared though, does anybody know what I should do?
