The first symptoms of a cavity may include a shooting pain in your tooth when, for example, you are eating or drinking something cold or sweet. A throbbing pain may be caused by the infection of the end of the tooth root. Pain in a wisdom tooth may be felt near the ear. However, as it is difficult to determine the reason for pain on the basis of the pain alone, you should always visit a dentist if you have toothache.
