<bot>: Hello and thank you for your questions. Based on what you are describing it can be a multitude of things:-An inflamed pulp in the tooth with a large filling which is causing the tooth to become necrotic and infected-A third molar which is coming in and causing soft tissue pain-The tooth next to it may have what was stated above The best bet is if you have pain in the tooth that is throbbing and keeping you up at night you have irreversible pulpits which is an inflammatory response leading to a dying blood supply and pulp in the tooth.  You need to go to a dentist for radiographs (x-rays) and a pulp vitality test to determine if it's the tooth causing the pain, which one is causing the pain or if you have a wisdom tootChatDoctoring in.  This kind of issues are best diagnosed with evaluation.  Dental pain can have a multitude of causes and each one needs to be diagnosed with proper testing by a licensed dentist. Best of luck and good health
