Seek dental eval.: Which molars? - wisdom teeth? Significant pain of teeth warrants a dental assessment. Take care.

Need help: Can be cavity/abscess, hyper function, fracture, damage from adjacent malposed tooth, gum disease, or many other cause3s. The only thing you can do is call your dentist...Now. The problem has to be visualized to be diagnosed so that the correct treatment can be chosen. Can't do it over the phone or computer. And it's not a diy project. Bite the bullet...Call our dentist.

See your dentist: Many things can cause a bad toothache besides a cavity (caries). A bad toothache is reason enough for an emergency visit to your dentist. Among the causes are: bruxism, a cracked or partially broken tooth, impacted teeth, local or distant tumors or expasile pathological lesions, abcess, cyst, etc. Please go see your dentist inmediately for a complete dental examination and dental radiographs.
