Is it normal to have tooth pain come and go?
14 doctors weighed in across 6 answers
No: Pain that comes and goes usually means that there is a prob and you need to determine where and which tooth it may be. See a dentist to get treatment options. You may only need a filling but you may need more extensive care such as a root canal/crown.

No : The pain could be due to the nerve in the tooth becoming necrotic which will eventually lead to an abscess. I would make an with your dentist to have this checked.

In a word....no...: It may be fairly common to have some tooth pain come and go. However, i would have it followed up by a dentist to make sure all is well.

No: Our bodies respond to adversity in many different ways. The fact that you're having tooth pain on and off is indicative of some type of chronic problem. I would highly suggest you see your dentist to rule out a possible nerve problem in a tooth, or even a joint issue. Keep smiling.

Yes, but: Yes, but it likely means you have a cavity. See dentist ASAP for exam.
