Dull ache from teeth - is it going to get worse?

[paulfoel]

Dentist not my favourite place. Dont go too often only when I have to and havent been for years. Im also the world biggest hypochondriac when it comes to teeth.

Anyway, currently getting some dull ache in my teeth. Not severe just a dull ache that I get from time to time. However, one particular tooth seems a bit worse. Not all the time just from time to time.

I THINK its just sensitive teeth....

I'm off to NY for the weekend soon and paranoid about having toothache on the plane, whilst Im there. Im just scared its going to get worse and worse.

Does this sound like typical toothache thats going to get worse?

I've made a routine appointment for when I get back (earliest available) but I guess if its bad before I can go as an emergency. Dont want to do that if its just sensitive teeth....

All of my cavities started out as a dull ache that radiated all over my mouth. You're right in wanting to get it checked, because it may not just be sensitivity. It's best to find out what it is rather than waiting and letting the problem get worse.
