How Can Severe Toothache Be Treated?

Hi I supposidely had route canal work on a molar 20 + years ago cant not remember, 1 year ago I had the tooth fitted with new cap over the months the tooth was causing throbbing issues, I thought the tooth was to tight between the other teeth a bulge started to appear in my gum with minor tenderness went back to dentist and he told me route canal was done in the past and I would have to see a endodontic specialst
I waited 12 months for a NHS appointment at Guys and Thomas hospital only to receive a letter saying sorry we can not see you but may be in the future I do not know what to do know the tooth feels dead and I have still a bulge in my gum not causing any reel pain just a dead feeling any suggestion ?

You need to do do an IOPAR - X Ray for the same.
As per your past history and pain episodes,you seem to have a periapical cyst.
With this you can either have get your tooth removed or need to Repeat your RCT.
Cyst grow slowly but can damage the surrounding tissues.
A dead thing is more dangerous then throbing one.
