Throbbing tooth: It sounds like you need Root Canal Therapy. If the tooth is still able to be saved, have it done rather than having a front tooth extracted. See a dentist as soon as possible to discuss your options. Things will only get worse without professional treatment. Wondering want wrong and postponing treatment will only cause more anxiety. Getting out of pain and saving the tooth will be more comforting

Abscess: Even if your tooth is not abscessed, a throbbing, shooting pain indicates a major problem. See your dentist ASAP for treatment and reduce your anxiety.
