When is it a cause for concern? I have a toothache for about two days now, and it has woken me up at night. I can't even exactly tell what tooth it is, either. My dentist couldn't get me in until next Friday, the 29th. That's the only dentist within a 50 mile radius that accepts my insurance so I have to go to him. Will I be alright until then? I have had the same toothache months ago, went away after a few hours, but now it's back. Is it ok that I wait until my appointment? The dentist didn't seem too concerned, and my doctor told me to just use Anbesol. If it were an abscess tooth, how would I know?
