It sounds like an abcess. You will likey need to have your tooth pulled or possibly a root canal, as the nerve inside your tooth is dead.

Remember Tom hanks in Castaway? Make an appointment to see your dentist soon.

    It is swollen because the tooth is broken and you might have an infection from it. You need to see your dentist ASAP.
