Sever tooth pain on and off, it will be horrible for ten minutes, then fine for a few hours. over and over. causes?

Inflammation ?: Infection? Fracture? Bruxism? These are a few possibilities. Regardless of the cause, you need to see a local dentist to assess the problem and treat it. It will not go away on its own and very soon the pain will not be episodic, but continuously horrible.

See your dentist: for complete examination, x-rays and treatment. Regardless of the cause of the dental pain, infection, trauma or bruxism, it will not go away on its own, so it's important not to ignore the symptoms.
