I have been experiencing pain in my lower left molar for the last few days. The pain gets heightened when i bite my teeth together. I brush my teeth daily. Can this possibly be an infection?

Hey there... Either it could be due to infection in your 2nd molar or may be due to 3rd molar eruption... You need to visit a nearest dentist ASAP and get it diagnose properly with x-ray.... N then plan the treatment accordingly... Take care ..!!
