Severe Tooth Pain

Question

Severe Tooth Pain

Asked for Female, 17 Years

My teeth hurt a lot, and have been hurting for the past week or so. My gums are swollen and my the area right under my jaw is heavily swollen and there is a ball like formation I can feel when I tilt my head. I went to the dentist and he said that I don't brush my teeth enough, but I brush my teeth twice daily. He prescribed me amoxicillin for about a week.
