A throbbing toothache usually indicates an active infection or inflammation. The throbbing sensation is due to the inflamed tissues and increased blood flow to the area. A throbbing toothache can be severe and should prompt an immediate visit to Royal Dental Whittier for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
