What should I do if one of my molars starts throbbing sharply?

First, rinse your mouth with warm water and try to dislodge any debris that may be trapped between your teeth using dental floss. Avoid applying aspirin or other analgesics as they can burn the tissues rather than healing them.

Secondly, contact our team promptly as sharp and sudden pain is usually a cause for concern. It is often indicative of an infection.

Furthermore, if you believe that the pain or swelling is a result of a recent dental treatment you received (e.g., teeth whitening, wisdom tooth extraction, etc.), don't hesitate to reach out to our dental clinic! Each person reacts differently following a treatment, and our team will be happy to reassure you or provide additional advice.
