Hello, Well, at time toothache can be severe and disturbing and can cause severe anxiety in the sufferer. If the sufferer is otherwise completely normal with no habit of throwing tantrums then the anxiety can be due to pain. However, in that case immediate medical assistance is a must and painkiller injections and treatment of the tooth can relieve the agony and calm the patient. But in case if the behavior is completely abnormal then it might need a Psychiatric consultation as can be related to Panic attack. You can take her to Dentist and see if it helps. Painkillers oral and injectable can be given for relieving pain first along with antianxiety medications if needed. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
