Baby tooth hurts: See your dentist who can tell you. Cavity? Erosion? Gum recession? Resorbing root? Time to extract and replace with implant retained crown?

Baby tooth: retained by teeth can last for a long time but many of the, do develop problems. Just like your other teeth you may have a cavity, recession, or an infection in the surrounding gum tissue. See a dentist to find out what is going on no what treatment is needed. Many time retained baby teeth need to be removed at some time in adulthood.

Hard to say...: Could be a cavity, could be your secondary tooth finally erupting. See a local dentist who can examine your tooth and advise you of your treatment options.
