Toothache
8 Answers
I have never had toothache before and now I have a raging one but it seems to be affecting under my tongue and the side of my mouth too - even my lip at the side - is this possible?
I don't have any appointment for another 20 days so just keep taking painkillers but it doesn't hurt all the time

Having spent many nights groaning in agony with a tooth abscess i'd get an emergency appointment.

OK, it is unusual, very unusual for a dental abscess to cause intermittent pain, it is usual constant. Intermittent, severe toothache might well suggest a non-dental cause due to the conditions that I have described.
I would still monitor for a couple of days, but if you are worried, then see your GP earlier.
