After weeks, months, or years of experiencing persistent discomfort, has your toothache suddenly disappeared? If so, you might be feeling relieved. After all, your tooth has healed itself, right? Unfortunately, that\u2019s not the case. To learn the most common reason toothaches disappear (as well as what you should do next), read on!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Is It Normal for Toothaches to Disappear?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yes, but it\u2019s not the good news you think it is. The most common reason that toothaches disappear is because the infection has \u201ckilled\u201d the nerve of the tooth, rendering it unable to register pain. At that point, it\u2019s only a matter of time until the surrounding teeth and gums are negatively impacted as well, which is why it\u2019s important that you act quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What You Should Do If Your Toothache Disappears<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your once-painful toothache has gone radio silent, then it\u2019s time to take the next step: schedule an emergency appointment<\/a> with your dentist. That way, they can learn about your symptoms (or lack of symptoms), take X-rays, and conduct an oral exam. Then, they can pinpoint the root of the problem, the extent of the damage, and, perhaps most importantly, the best way to restore your healthy, happy smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Happens If You Wait<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now that the discomfort, sensitivity, and soreness you were experiencing have gone away, getting the restorative care you need may not seem urgent. Of course, that doesn\u2019t mean it isn\u2019t; quite the opposite since the infection can spread throughout your mouth and to the rest of your body. The best way to prevent that from happening is by getting an appointment with your dentist on the calendar ASAP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately, a toothache disappearing is not good news. So, if yours goes away, don\u2019t take the \u201cwait and see\u201d approach. Instead, contact your dental team to schedule an emergency appointment!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
