A severe toothache is a dental emergency that requires prompt attention to prevent further complications. Common signs of a severe toothache include intense, throbbing pain, swelling in the mouth, cheeks, or under the eye, difficulty eating, trouble sleeping, fever, chills, and a bad taste in your mouth. If left untreated, a severe toothache can lead to more serious issues, such as tooth loss, an abscess, or even a life-threatening infection like sepsis, which occurs when bacteria spread throughout the body.
