Inefted nerve in tooth hurts more in evening why?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Several reasons: The amount of stress during the day, the position your head may be in when sleeping, the amount of usage that tooth has had during the day all add up. You must see your dentist asap to definitively treat this tooth to eliminate the cause of the pain -- either root canal treatment or tooth extraction.

Very common: because of the increased blood pressure to your head when lying down. See your dentist for evaluation and treatment.

Brown spot on my tooth appeared suddenly at gum line. Dentist said it's an exposed nerve and asked if it hurt. I said no, then he scraped it with a tool and that hurt, so he desensitized it. Now it hurts when I eat sweets. Why? It never hurt before?
