Looks like you should make a quick trip to the dentist to rule out an odontogentic or "tooth related" infection. When a tooth becomes necrotic or infected this infection can travel through your jaw and actually drain via a "fistula" or pimple-like lesion around the area of the tooth. The source tooth can usually be identified quite easily by a few tests and an xray of the area. The numbness is usually a result of the pressure exerted by the infection on the mental nerve or inferior alveolar nerve which are the nerves that are usually frozen or anesthetized during dental procedures. This should be addressed because two important things are nearby that may be important to your life; your airway and your brain. Untreated infections can travel to other areas and lead to fatal airway constriction and also to the brain where they can cause irrevocable damage.

How can you file your teeth into fangs pain-free?
You can go to the dentist, get your mouth numbed, and your teeth sharpened. In case you haven't notice - human teeth aren't really all that big and don't make good artistic material. It would be better if you were to get artificial enhancements rather than do something irreversible. ya if you do get them sharpened be careful not to bite your tongue cuz i got mine sharpened last month and bite three holes through my tongue

If they numb you it doesnt really hurt. It's more of like a pinch, or it feels like when you pull out a loose tooth. It really depends on your nerves.

Should you pop a pimple or leave it?
You shouldn't pop it. It can lead to scarring, and it inflames the skin. But if you really have to get to one, take a rag and put warm water on it and press it down lightly, and sometimes that helps without doing anything bad to it. Just make sure you wash your face, and you can use medication to specifically put just on pimples. :) This is really true but another tip to getting rid of them is always take a bath and wash yourself everywhere and use hot/warm water. Also use this medication called On The spot ance treatment by Neutrogena (it is a small tube). All you have to do is put just a tiny bit on the pimple daily ( two-three times a day) and just in a week (or a little more ) it will be gone and trust me from experience. but if you put alot on the pimple you will have marks on your face because it burns your skin and makes it dry. If you don't use these tips just pop your pimple and have a mark or pop your pimple the way that Dr.Oz told me to. First, you clean a needle and put alcohol rub on your pimple. Put the needle through the pimple and lift the needle up( while still the needle is still in the pimple) this cause the pimple to pop and the white puss to come out nicely. Lastly, clean the the popped pimple with a warm and clean wash cloth.
