Why do i have dull tooth ache/very uncomfortable. any ideas?

Yes: Cavity, fractured tooth, abscess, gum disease, loose filling. Those are things that your dentist will look for when you make an appointment to be evaluated and treated.

Infection: Toothache is usually a huge red flag saying that the tooth is infected. Dull ache may come and go, but will eventually flare up as an acute problem...In the middle of the night...On a holiday weekend...While your dentist is out of town. This is not a do-it-yourself self-help repair. Please call your dentist now for an emergency appointment before the infection spreads.

Absolutely: See your dentist as soon as possible to diagnose the problem and treat you as necessary. The list of possibilities is too long to even fit into the available space provided for us. It could be nothing at all or something serious. A clinical exam and x-rays will reveal any problems. See your dentist and don't wait.
