“Why does a tooth abscess hurt more at night?”
I have a tooth abscess. It hurts more at night. Is it normal?

It’s the position. When we lay down, there is more lateral pressure on the fluid in the tooth which transfers to the nerve. And hence more pain. Dentist should be seen asap.
Hope that helps.
