Suggest Treatment For Discharge From Infected Tooth
I had pulp extirpation on an infected tooth last Tuesday, following an emergency. It recovered well but since yesterday has started throbbing. Is this normal? I have an appointment to have the tooth extracted next week - I have a long history of problems with it and have agreed with my new dentist that this is the best course of action for me.

Hello
If there is throbbing pain associated with that tooth, it might be due to blood clot formed inside the pulp chamber when pulp was removed or some remaining pulp which is causing the irritation. It will go when you extract it.
It is normal.
Thank you.
