If you’re experiencing tooth pain, whether sharp and throbbing or dull and achy, it can be difficult to bite and chew, concentrate, get through the day, even sleep at night, no matter what over-the-counter medication you take for some relief. The source of tooth pain may be dental decay, an injury or an infection in the tooth. Regardless of the cause, if you have ongoing pain it’s important to address the problem sooner than later.
The majority of toothache symptoms are usually warning signs of a serious dental problem that require professional dental care. Dental infections generally spread and the condition can deteriorate and lead to more serious complications if left untreated. Save your tooth while you can.
Throbbing toothache is usually caused by an abscess infection in a tooth or surrounding gums. The buildup of bacteria within the tooth or gum puts pressure on nerves which leads to throbbing pain. Throbbing tooth pain is a sign that you might have tooth decay, a cavity or a broken tooth.
