Answer 1

You're probably talking about periodentitis, which is a disease in your gums. It basically kills the roots of your teeth, causing them to rot and fall out. You could be prescribed some antibiotics to slow it down, but there is no cure for it. I'm sure you don't want to lose your teeth, especially at such a young age. The best treatment is excellent oral care. Brush your teeth and use mouthwash everytime you eat and be sure to floss everyday.

Answer 2

You should go to the dentist ASAP.

A tooth abscess complication includes tooth loss, jaw bone damage, neighboring tooth damage or loss, sinus problems, brain abscess, heart damage, hospitalization, coma, and even death. The pressure caused by pus swelling inside the jaw bone causes inflammation of the bone (osteomyelitis) and this bone can die in the area of the swelling. If the bone doesn't heal and regrow, painful defects may form inside the bone(cavitations). If the bone surrounding a tooth dies, the tooth becomes loose due to the lack of support and can fall out. If the inflammation spreads to the bone surrounding the adjacent teeth, they also can be lost.
Each tooth abscess symptom can change as an abscess gets worse. A tooth abscess forms around the end of a dead tooth root. Many teeth have several roots and it is possible that some roots can remain alive while one or more of the others are dead. This can make it difficult to find a tooth abscess in its early phases.
The first tooth abscess symptom is usually hot and cold sensitivity. The sick tooth doesn't feel well and hurts when you bite. You know something is wrong. With time the problems get more dramatic. Toothache pain begins to come and go, gets worse and doesn't go away easily. Over the counter pain medications stop being effective. Your mouth gets hot from the dental infection and you may develop a low grade fever that may not show up with an ear or rectal thermometer. The tooth abscess begins to run you down and make you feel miserable (malaise).
Finally, the dental pain becomes tremendous and will not stop. It keeps you up all night, throbs with piercing pain, and you just want to die. The tooth abscess symptoms get worse as you lose sleep and get overtired during the day. The lymph nodes in your neck swell as the infection develops. A serious complication is when the surface of the gums at the bottom of the tooth swells and gets bigger. The swelling can grow out of control, distort your face, block off your airway and kill you (Ludwig's Angina). If you are lucky, the swelling pops open before it gets very big and pus spills into your mouth (fistula). The pus tastes salty or bitter and you develop bad breath. Regardless of which tooth abscess symptoms you are experiencing, you should see a dentist immediately. The consequences of failing to get early treatment for a tooth abscess can be severe and its just not worth delaying dental care.

Rotting teeth will not rot your face, an infection of the diseased tooth can effect your face but rotting? I don't think so..
