My father has had many of his teeth removed, but the roots and nerves cannot all be removed due to a severe heart condition. He has had pain for the last several months, but tonight it is at its worst. His face is swollen up to the size of a golf ball and he is in a lot of sever pain. I feel it may be a severe infection. Can this be serious, should I take him to the hospital?

Root stumps should be Extracted to avoid inflammation. You should Visit to Near Dental Clinic or Hospital. Thank you- Chat Doctor.
