I am a recent vetern of an abcessed tooth, and yes...it does. the abcess is an infection deep inside the root, that has reached it's way to the surface, causing severe pain, and swelling. It can also cause fevers, and loss of appitite(fear of the pain). If not drained, either on it's own(not recommended at all), or by a doctor/dentist, the infection can spread at a moderate rate causing need for hospital addmitance. Be carefull! spreading infection could lead to very bad results...it could threaten your life. Get to a doctor a.s.a.p. It could get real serious!

Does the pain stop when a tooth dies?

No the pain is actually more excrutuiating, if the tooth "rots out of your head" that means that the tooth is rotten and fell out, causing your gums to decompise because of plaque, this process is painful, and implants hurt. This can actually lead tosurgery if you letit rot. So dont do that. Just go to the dentist -Dr.Toles
