There is no such thing as tooth cancer.
The maximum that you can have is periapical infection which can be treated if the tooth is in restorable condition
Next Steps
you should start with antibiotic coverage along with pain killer and visit your nearby dentist for early treatment
Health Tips
start with oral hygiene maintenance and warm saline rinses
