What Causes Swollen Jaw And Body Aches While Having Toothache?

My husband has a bad toothache and can't see the Dentist until they are open again on Monday. He has swelling in his jaw and is now experiencing all over body aches and possible fever. I'm worried there's a bad infection that has spread... will he be okay to wait until Monday or is this serious enough to take him to ER?
