But it's not illegal. Most states, as well as the District of Columbia, allow surreptitious recording of conversationsâon the phone or in personâas long as one person involved gives permission, even if that person is you.
Signs and symptoms of a tooth abscess include: 1  Severe, persistent, throbbing toothache that can radiate to the jawbone, neck or ear. 2  Sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures. 3  Sensitivity to the pressure of chewing or biting. 4  Fever. Swelling in your face or cheek.  Tender, swollen lymph nodes under your jaw or in your neck.
An abscessed tooth is an infection in or around the tooth. It can be very painful. If the infection isn't treated, it can spread and you can lose your tooth or have other health problems. Damage to the tooth, an untreated cavity (tooth decay), or gum disease can cause an abscessed tooth. If a cavity isn't treated, the inside of the tooth (called the pulp) can become infected. Bacteria can spread from the tooth to the tissue around it, creating an abscess. Gum disease causes the gums to pull away from the teeth, leaving pockets. If food builds up in one of these pockets, bacteria can grow, and an abscess can form. Over time an abscess can cause the bone around the tooth to dissolve.
