Severe tooth pain with no infection
2 weeks have had severe pain in a molar. Dentist did do an x-ray said there was no infection/abscess yet he said to pull it anyway along with the tooth next to it. What could possibly be causing such severe pain if there is no infection? I don't want the tooth pulled if its healthy as its 1 of 2 molars I have left. He did prescribe an antibiotic
