Why You Shouldn’t Ignore Tooth Pain (Even if it Goes Away)

When you experience tooth pain, it usually means that an infection is present. Inflammation is the immune system’s way of counteracting viral and bacterial infections. Although, it’s important to note that tooth pain can also result from gum disease and other sources. 
‍
Gum disease and other conditions usually don't appear out of nowhere. Pain, swelling (inflammation), and bleeding gums are the most common symptoms that an infection is present. While the pain may seem like it comes from nowhere, in reality, conditions such as gum disease form over long periods. 
‍
Here is why you shouldn't ignore a toothache (even if the pain goes away). If you have a toothache that seems to resolve itself in a few days or even a few weeks, it may not mean that the infection has resolved on its own. It might mean that the infection has destroyed the network of nerves within the tooth and may require root canal treatment to save the tooth.
