Can tooth pain come and go?

I've been having tooth pain that seems to come and go away twice a week. I'm wondering if something like a tooth infection is going on and if I should see a dentist or not.

Is it normal for tooth pain to come and go away on it's own and then come back again after a few days?

Tooth pain can come and go often. But I would recommend seeing a dentist if possible since it sounds like you could have a tooth infection that could get worse if not treated.

Tooth infections can cause problems with a persons heart and can "although rare" cause death through a heart attack or other ways.

Tooth infections and pain shouldn't be ignored.

If the tooth pain keeps coming back I would go see a dentist to have it looked at.
