Throbbing pain comes when your decay or cavity has reached the nerve. This leads to nerve getting infected and caused excruciating pain which even painkillers cannot help relieve pain.
Next Steps
Take painkillers for now. Visit a dentist for an xray/ radiograph and then he will suggest the treatment after analyzing the xray.
Health Tips
Always visit a dentist at the earliest , do not wait for pain .

Hi... You need to visit dentist for consultation. After x ray it will be clear. Most of the time interdental decay cannot be seen... Apply colgate pain out liquid. Take care
