A bad toothache can be like a horror movie with you starring as the unfortunate victim. You can't sleep and you can't eat. It throbs and throbs and throbs. It just won't stop but you want it to stop. God knows you want it to stop. You'd pay anything to see a dentist but it's three thirty in the morning and there's no emergency dentist open, so you suffer.

          You've got a dental infection and if you haven't already begun to swell, you will soon. The pus needs to get out of the dental abscess underneath your tooth but has nowhere to go, so it rips your gums off of the bone. You hurt! It's a real bad toothache and you want your mama.

         Unfortunately, a bad toothache almost always means that you have a dead tooth or a tooth that is almost dead and needs a root canal or dental extraction. You can try putting ice on the tooth or going to an emergency room to get a narcotic pain reliever.

         There is no way you can avoid seeing a dentist if you have a bad toothache.
