Tooth Pain
Tooth pain is one of the most significant indicators of tooth decay. Decay, cavity, infections, etc. can lead to throbbing pain, which you would find hard to sustain. Both children and adults can get tooth pain, and in such cases going to your dentist would be the best idea for you. They would conduct a dental exam and would also go for an X-ray if required.
Do not try to suppress the pain with pain killers and avoid going to the dentist. This is not only bad for your oral health but also for your overall health. The infection can spread to the jawbones and other areas of the face, throat, and neck, causing you more troubles. You can also get swelling, fever, and more pain when you avoid the initial symptoms of a toothache.
If you are currently having tooth pain, discomfort, or feel you have an infection, then contact Dr. Salazar at Best Choice Family & Cosmetic Dentistry.

Some of the symptoms of toothache would include:
