Throbbing inside the gum under the tooth. When you bend over you can feel a pressure. If not looked after by your dentist it can cause pain in your jaw and ear. Unless you go months (which you won't because of the pain) it's not fatal, but could do some bone damage to the jaw. Your dentist will probably put you on a regiment of antibiotics before touching the tooth. Then a root canal may be done or an extraction. Sounds terrible, but I've had 2 done and it isn't painful. See your dentist to have it checked out.

Can I have my tooth extracted if I have an absess below tooth. One dentist says ok another says the infection would have to clear first or could be dangerous to remove. Any advice please?
I had a friend with a similar problem and his dentist told him he had to wait until the infection was gone because it is very dangerous to operate on an absess tooth. It may be painful now but eventually it will be over and if you risk it and do the operation too soon it could result in worse pain than before. My friends dentist told him removing an absess tooth can actually kill you from infection and whatever else.

What causes a submandibular gland abscess besides your teeth?
Submandibular absess can be cause by Salmonella. Salmonella species represent uncommon causative agents in focal infections of the head and neck. An immunocompromised condition can be a critical predisposing factor for Salmonella submandibular abscess. They can also be caused by a deep tooth absess running down through the mandibal, earning it the name, "sub-mandibular". In either case, the infection can be quite painful, and very serious if left untreated. The absess needs to be drained and treated with antibiotics.
