My tooth is all of a sudden...?

It's hurting really bad. whenever i drink water or some other liquid, it always hurts down to the root. Can someone tell me what's going on?


BTW: It started just yesterday, so it's not like tooth decay, i think...

My tooth is all of a sudden...?
Sounds like you've become super sensitive to cold drinks. I'm the same - I have to use a straw because the dentists in the UK are far too expensive for me to visit - but if you can, i suggest you go as you may need a small filling.
Reply:That always happens to me, I think you have a sensitive tooth.
Reply:Might be an infection. Go talk to a dentist, I think you'll need an antibiotic.
Reply:your teeth are sensitive to cold. And probably heat. You can start brushing with a toothpaste for sensitive teeth. If that dosn't help you may want to see your dentist. There may be a problem with the root. Good luck.
Reply:it might just be a toothache just tell you're mom and dad and they can look at it and tell you whats going on and if it's bad they can take you to the dentist!
Reply:Sounds like a cavity to me, that is usually a big indication of a cavity. Did you have a filling in it perhaps you lost it and didn't realize? I would see your dentist because it sounds like a cavity to me.
Reply:See a dentist! Sensitivity to heat or cold (especially when it hurts "really bad") is a sign that the tooth needs attention. You may have an abcess and require a root canal or it may just need a filling.
Reply:It could be that you have a cavity in that tooth or it could just be that your teeth have started to become more sensitive. You might want to see a dentist and have it checked out. I use Sensodyne toothpaste as I used to have a lot of teeth that were sensitive to cold. After a week of use your teeth will be less sensitive (you have to keep using it though). You can get it at your local Walmart, Meijer, etc.
Reply:Hi! I'm in dentistry. This is too hard to give an answer to without more detail. Which tooth and how old are you? Can you see any discoloration on the tooth?
Reply:It happens to me when I eat lemons or eat ice or swim in a chlorine filled pool. I think It could be tooth sensitivity, Because that's what it is for me.
Reply:There are many possible causes for tooth sensitivity.





1) You brushed too hard, or used a toothbrush with hard bristles


2) You are stressed out, and grinding your teeth in your sleep


3) You have bitten something which cracked or fractured your tooth


4) You have an old filling or other dental work in that tooth which is "leaking" due to just being old and worn out


5) You have weakened enamel on that tooth (often caused from eating lemons or other strong acid foods).


6) You have recessed or shrunken gums due to plaque/gum disease (do your gums bleed when you floss?)





Usually a tooth paste for sensitive teeth will help. Floride rinses also help. And keep brushing and flossing daily. If that doesn't fix it, see a dentist.
