What symptoms accompany a toothache?

toothache
Because the symptoms of a toothache may resemble other medical conditions or dental problems, it can be difficult to diagnose the cause without a complete evaluation by your dentist. If you notice pus near the source of the pain, your tooth may have become abscessed, causing the surrounding bone to become infected. Or the pus could indicate gum disease, which is usually characterized by inflammation of the soft tissue, bleeding gums and abnormal loss of bone surrounding the teeth.

Contact Dr.Nechupadam Dental, Marine Drive immediately if you have any of the following symptoms along with toothache :
• Fever
• Difficulty breathing or swallowing
• Swelling around the tooth area
• Pain when you bite
• A foul-tasting discharge
• Continuous lasting pain
