Hello,
Sorry to hear about your tooth pain. Does your tooth hurt when you are not chewing on it? If it does, the usual suspect for throbbing pain is something that is causing inflammation inside the tooth. This could be a cavity or cracked tooth. If it is a whole area and not just one tooth it could be from a grinding or clenching habit that you are unaware of. If it only hurts while you are chewing on it then it could be an infection around the roots of the tooth that gets compressed or a tooth with a micro crack in it that moves every time you bite down. As you can see, there is a variety of things that can cause your pain; you may want to see a doctor for a free consult to get it evaluated.
Hope this helps and you feel better soon.
My best to you!

Throbbing is a sign of infection. You need to get to your dentist. Any heart beat pounding pain needs treatment. It can be your your teeth or your gums. Not resolving teeth or gum problems leads to more advanced, expensive solutions.
It could either be an infection/abcess under the tooth that is building up in the bone. Because it has no where to go when the tooth root puts pressure on it from chewing it will greatly increase the pressure and pain. Another possibility is a filling/crown/restoration that is getting hit too hard and needs to be adjusted correctly to allow equal pressure loads for the teeth around the mouth.
It is difficult to tell without proper diagnosis. Very often it is indicative of a deep cavity, a possible abscess or the possibility of a crack in your tooth. Either way you should probably seek professional care as soon as possible.
Throbbing tooth pain is nature's sign of a serious concern. You might have a nasty infection or a fractured tooth which is causing a nasty infection. Better get it checked by a dentist before it gets worse, and it can get much worse.
the bite could be hitting too hard on this tooth; you might have a gum abscess; maybe dental infection. See the dentist and they will figure it out.
This type of pain can be due to a dead or infected nerve, periodontal infection, fractured tooth, sinus infection, and I rare cases a tumor or cyst. It is recommended to see a dentist for examination and radiographs for definitive diagnosis at this time.
See a dentist for evaluation, X-rays, and treatment.
There could be many reasons for pain: maybe you have a huge cavity or an abscess, or perhaps your tooth is cracked. Call a dentist.
Infection
Throbbing tooth pain is the pain that goes beyond the mild and moderate tooth pain and reaches to even more severity level. If you have an intense pain in your teeth and you started chewing on your right side, then the possibility is that you might have one of the severe dental issues. This can be a warning sign of tooth abscess. The tooth abscess is a problem in which a pus is filled at the roots of teeth and thus, it is caused by an infection.
You can have a cracked tooth, a large cavity to the nerve, etc. A visit to the dentist is highly recommended. Without an exam and X-rays by a professional, there is no diagnosis that can be recommended.
Hey there! There are a number of possible causes for this type of pain. Generally speaking, pain of a throbbing nature indicates a soft tissue problem which may be as innocuous as some gum inflammation, but could also be as serious as a periodontal (gum) infection or even a dental abscess! I would highly recommend seeing your friendly local dentist so that they can examine the area and give you a diagnosis. All the best!

You could have traumatic bite or an infected tooth in either case it is time to visit your dentist and don't let this happen for too long as it may cause more damage
Quite likely the cause may be a cracked tooth. Every time you bite on that tooth, you may be causing the crack to open slightly which can be very painful. The pain could also be due to an infection (abscess). I would recommend getting a dentist to check this as soon as possible.
This is a pathologic puzzle that needs to be solved since it affects only one side. Your dentist will take X-rays after he examines your teeth determines what can be the cause of your symptoms. It is possible that your teeth have shifted causing TMJ pain which can be referred as your bite shifts, also could be parodontal destruction which are the supporting structures of the teeth themselves through neglect and keeping routine check-ups with your dentist. Many people do not realize that dental problems cannot be postponed indefinitely as they tend to get worse and cause more damage. Ultimately your entire state of health can be affected by for dental care. So the answer to your question is not so important that you get it quickly, but that you take some time and actually discovering which set of symptoms can give rise to your particular problem, muscular skeletal, decay of the teeth, Orthodontics shifting of the teeth, or trauma Associated to damaged tissues. All of these symptoms can give rise to the problem here presenting your dentist will determine by your treatment plan how best to proceed, solving emergency problems first.
