Toothache when flying and having a cold
Hello! See a dentist as soon as possible in person. Sounds like you have the beginnings of a tooth infection. Need x-rays to confirm though. Most likely related to a large cavity on one of the teeth in that area. The change in pressure when changing altitude most likely is putting pressure on the abscess you have. Hope this helps. Cheers!

I think I have infected soft pulp tissue in my back tooth. What's the treatment for this?
It is difficult to say definitely without looking at radiographs and looking clinically at the tooth. If there is sufficient tooth structure left then maybe a root canal, build-up, and a crown. If the tooth doesn't look good it may be extracted. READ MORE

Are dental bridges removable?
