Similar thing happened to me, I was out of the country and was having serious tooth pains, before I returned I made an appointment and went the first day I was back. The dentist said 'Your lucky you came, this infection is pretty bad and almost spread to your brain'... scary shit, especially seeing as I was in another country for the previous 4 month and wouldn't have been able to get dental work done there.
