Suffering from Toothache
I have a toothache sometimes in the middle of night but nowadays in the day as well. It's in the right jaw line upper and lower right. What is the cause? What should I do as it is unbearable.

Hello. Having pain in the middle of the night and now during days as well seems more like a pulpal pain i.e. pain that comes when the nerve inside the tooth is affected by caries (tooth decay). Even if a cavity is not visible it may be present between two teeth. I would suggest you visit a dental surgeon and get an x ray done to rule out the main cause.
If the nerve is affected by tooth decay, you may have to undergo a root canal treatment.
