Intermittent Tooth Pain: Why That On-and-Off Toothache Matters and How a Root Canal Can Help

Here’s What Intermittent Tooth Pain Might Be Hiding and Why It Deserves Attention


We’ve all been there — a tooth twinge that disappears just as quickly as it came. While it’s tempting to brush it off, recurring tooth pain is rarely something to ignore.

Why does tooth pain come and go?


Your tooth might be giving early warning signs of a deeper issue, such as:

  • A deep cavity irritating the nerve, especially with hot, cold, or sugary foods.

  • A hairline crack that only triggers pain under biting pressure.

  • An early-stage infection that hasn't become constant — yet.


What if I don’t treat it in time?


Delaying treatment can lead to:

  • Infection spreading to your jaw or surrounding tissue

  • Complete tooth loss

  • The need for more invasive, costly dental procedures
