Toothache decompression scuba diving

If you are suffering from the toothache decompression scuba diving can pop a capped tooth, if there is an air pocket in a root canal. Diving to about 45’ is plenty deep enough for the toothache decompression scuba diving to begin to have an affect. This naturally is all connected to pressure and consequently the deeper you dive the greater the toothache. It isn’t always possible to know that you have a problem until the dive is under way, but if you quickly realise that you are suffering from toothache decompression scuba diving, it is advisable to abandon the dive immediately. The pain will only increase with depth, and recovery will consequently take longer.
