A cavity or a crack can cause sharp pain along with sensitivity when you bite down.

If it's deep enough, a cavity or crack can let bacteria into the inner layer, called pulp, of your tooth. The pulp can become infected, and that can lead to a buildup of pus called an abscess. The infection can spread to tissue and bone, too. An abscess causes severe, throbbing pain that doesn't stop.

Other symptoms include:

  • Swelling in your gums or face
  • Bad breath
  • Fever
  • Bad taste in your mouth
  • Swollen glands
