That could be due to an abscess (especially root abscesses of molar teeth) or typically to a trauma or infection. A picture of it would be of great help to understand the underlying cause and give you more specific advices on treatment options. Without actually seeing it it is very difficult for us to give you a precise and helpful answer. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
