Possible fracture: Have your dentist do a clinical examination in addition to taking a radiograph. From your brief symptoms, there may be a fracture line that hurts on a sporadic basis, or the tooth may be abscessed and need further treatment through the apex of the tooth. There are many variables that need to be determined by the dentist.

RCT tooth pain: There are many possibilities which include root fracture, crown fracture, periodontal or apical abscess, bruxism or even an adjacent tooth with a problem. This needs to be evaluated by dentist in person with a clinical exam, x-rays and possible some other tests. We can only guess, your own dentist can determine the actual cause.
