That’s where the tooth’s blood vessels, nerve, and connective tissues are, and if that area becomes inflamed or infecte the pain can be excruciating. But if you have exposed nerves or tooth dentin, your tooth may be very sensitive (especially to cold drinks). I have had a toothache my back teeth (molars i think) have broken and i think the dentist said the nerve has exposed.
I was issued with some painkills, ibroprufeun (cant spell it) and anit-biotics. While human teeth are extremely strong, under certain circumstances they can break, chip, or fracture.
If you must eat, eat soft foods and avoid biting down on the broken tooth. Treatment for a broken or chipped tooth will depend on how severely it is damaged. If only a small piece of enamel broke.
Toothache Cause Abscessed Tooth. An abscessed tooth is a dental condition in which the nerve of the tooth , also referred to as the dental pulp, has become infected. The infection usually occurs when a dental cavity ( tooth decay) goes untreated and spreads deep within the tooth. You might find that you have to take many days off from work or school.
If your kids have tooth pain, it can be a distressing time.
