Is it normal that fresh 75% portion of broken tooth cause pain when something try to eat. e.g. leg piece, suddenly after injury ?

Exposed nerve: Likely this is a more serious (grade iii/iv) dental fracture and has exposed nerve(s) / "root, " and needs seen by dentist asap. Will be sensitive to heat/cold/impact until then, but can also predispose to infection.

Quite Normal: The tooth is severely damaged. See a dentist immediately.
