Wrong Attempts: 1) get on an antibiotic like amoxicillin.

Tonsil stone or cyst: Tonsil stones are a very common condition caused bacterial colonization (thought to be biofilms) and debris in the crypts of your tonsils. Tonsillectomy (laser cryptolysis, subcapsular tonsillectomy, traditional tonsillectomy) is the only permanent effective treatment.

Caries: The tooth pain needs to be evaluated not only to for pain relief but to prevent further damage to the tooth such as from a cavity.  Sensitivity to hot and cold is usually due to periodontal disease exposing the root.  Please consult your dentist, even if you can treat the pain with over the counter medications.

Question 7

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.

front tooth pain randomly for a few days as of lately when i drink cold water on only one tooth?

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.
