Question 1

extremely sharp pain in tooth when eating or drinking cold?

Accepted Answer

Pulpitis: This symptom is "pathognemonic"-- i.e., highly characteristic of-- an acute pulpitis, or inflammation of the dental pulp. Pulpitis is most commonly the result of deep tooth decay, but may also result from physical injury or careless drilling of a tooth by a dentist. Treatment of pulpitis entails either root canal therapy or removal of the tooth, depending on circumstances.

Question 2

what does it mean if i get sharp pain in tooth, when eating and drinking?

Accepted Answer

Needs evaluation: Sharp pain is not a normal response to eating and drinking.  Have a local dentist evaluate the tooth for a cavity, fracture, loose filling, or periodontal disease.

Question 3

tooth pain sometimes severe. xray shows no cavity but tooth is filled. also same side has an impacted wisdom tooth. very sharp pains to cold not so much with hot. hurts off and on sometimes without even drinking anything cold feels achy?

Accepted Answer

: Sight unseen, I suspect it is the tooth with the filling. It may be "leaking" and the filling probably needs to be replaced, especially if it is 10+ years old. Radiographs don't always show every problem, so you need sometimes treat from experience.

Question 4

when i drink cold water my teeth hurt with a sharp pain and thenn somethimes with hot water i i have went for a check up for cavities nothing came up.

Accepted Answer

Tooth sensitivity: The causes of tooth sensitivity ranges from a simple localized gingival recession and thus exposing the root surface to the local irritants (hot or cold water), to a more complex occlusal trauma (poor occlusion) leads to stretching of periodontal ligament fibers and firing of the a delta fiber (nerve fiber) causing sensitivity reaction.  Clean your teeth, apply desensitizer, adjust your occlusion!

Question 5

what can i do about this sharp pain in tooth when eating after a cavity filling?

Accepted Answer

See your dentist: The filling may require and adjustment.

Question 6

what could cause sharp pain in tooth after eating a grapefruit?

Accepted Answer

Tooth decay: If its just cold sensitive it could be decay or root sensitivity. If it goes away quickly it is most likely not too deep and a filling will suffice. If it lingers for more than a minute, it may be more involved. Possibly need a root canal and crown. See a dentist. It won't go away without fixing it.

Question 7

can drinking cold water and ice coffee cause tooth pain?

Accepted Answer

Yes: At 54 ,it is quite common for gums to have some regression and the teeth become more sensitive.You can also get cavities at any age.also cold drinks can cause microfractures in teeth and make them more prone to get damaged.Make sure to keep routine dental appointments.

Question 8

can drinking cold water annd ice coffee cause tooth pain?

Accepted Answer

Temperature tech: Simple answer--yes, all the above. Anything--large fillings, caps, crowns, and root exposure-can allow temperature irritation of a tooth or teeth as the nerve in the tooth reacts to transmitted cooling from the ice. However, if the tooth/teeth are "extremely" sensitive and hurt for an extended time after "icing", the you need to see your dentist--the nerve may be dying in the tooth.

Question 9

21 female used to have braces 5 yrs ago
front tooth pain randomly for a few days as of lately when i drink cold water on only one tooth?

Accepted Answer

A few thoughts...: Intermittent pain can be caused by a carious lesion or gum recession (exposed root). If your teeth shifted and you're hitting that tooth with increased force, that could be an issue too. Best bet is to have your dentist take a look.

Question 10

wisdom tooth cavity. burning nerve pain behind tooth. no tooth pain but very sensitive mucosa around tooth. cold drink brings pain. is tooth culprit?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: But does it really matter? You're uncomfortable, in pain, and need of care. Call a local dentist for an appointment, and feel better soon.
