Root Canal Therapy?: A severe toothache relieved by cold is one of the classical signs of a tooth that has an infected nerve and requires root canal therapy. Please call your dentist asap for immediate and emergency treatment.

Dead or dying tooth: You absolutely have a problem that can only be fixed by a root canal or an extraction of the offending tooth. You need treatment sooner than later. If the pain goes away by itself, do not be persuaded to wait. It did not get better by itself.
