You have an infectio: n and should see a dentist. May require special x-rays to see or just an exam. Don't delay as an infection could spread or you could lose a tooth. Good luck!

Mysterious Toothache: Good day; There are various tests to evaluate the health of a nerve in a tooth. A scan of tooth, a pulp tester might be helpful. May be possible hair line fracture of tooth. Do you notice more intense pain on opening versus closing? A perfect time to see an endodontist-- specialist in root canal therapy. This specialist utilizes a microscope to diagnose pulpal health.

Toothache: Radiographs don't always show everything. Does the tooth have a filling? It may be loose. The tooth may even be fractured. If your dentist cannot detect what is amiss, please see an endodontist.
