I had a sudden toothache on one tooth. The gums are slightly swollen. I feel the tenderness when I touch it. After a few days, it subsided and I ignored it. A few days later, the problem recurred. What can I do about this?
Sudden excruciating pain or toothache may indicate the deep spread of decay in the tooth. Often, root canal treatment is necessary. If you note mild symptoms on the teeth, a check-up with your dentist will help prevent a bigger problem from occurring.
