Toothache: What are you waiting for? Why suffer with pain and possible spread of infection with resultant more serious complications? See a dentist to evaluate and treat you properly. We can neither diagnose nor treat your problems over the internet.

Infection: Most common cause of toothache is infection (abscess) which is not a self-healing problem. Your infection may be spreading. You need IMMEDIATE dental treatment. Please call Dentist for emergency appointment. This will not go away by itself.

See a dentist ASAP: A tooth abscess or gum abscess won't go away without treatment. A dental abscess is a collection of pus that forms in your teeth or gums as a result of a bacterial infection. Take Tylenol (acetaminophen) or NSAIDs OTC for pain control. Dentist will treat a tooth abscess by draining it and getting rid of the infection. See a dentist ASAP.
