Don't eat anything too hot or too cold, just warm until the nerve eventually dies. Try to avoid breathing through the mouth if possible.

Symptoms of nerve infection in tooth?
It hurts like a Bxtch
What should you do if a dentist broke your tooth a couple of years ago while trying to pull it and you did not go back but now it hurts on and off and can this cause cancer?
It won't cause cancer but it can cause a serious infection in your jaw. When the tooth broke it probably cracked without first bothering the nerve. But the crack has probably widened, exposing the nerve and causing the pain. If it hurts on and off by itself without you drinking hot or cold fluids, it sounds like the nerve. You probably need a root canal. MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A DENTIST OR A DENTAL SCHOOL IMMEDIATELY! ~ T
Why after a root canal a tooth still hurts when its pressed on?
The tooth will continue to hurt for a couple reasons, either the nerve in the tooth has been tampered with or it is just still sore.
Why does your rotten tooth hurt?
A rotted tooth hurts because the hard enamal covering the inner nerve has either softened or been stripped away. This allows infection, pressure and temperature differences to trigger the nerve which causes a toothache.
Why its called toothache not teethache?
because it hurts in the tooth. most of the time only one tooth hurts. if more than 1 tooth hurts, its called multiple toothaches. if your whole mouth hurts, consult a dentist.
What about the nerve of the tooth?
Well, no nerves in teeth would mean no dental pain. True, but no dental pain would also mean that when your teeth rot or gets broken , you would'nt know it or would'nt bother and finally you may lose them one by one and eventually be tooth less at an early age!ALL because you never felt pain. So the nerves and the perceived pain are all a protective mechanism that acts as an early warning system.

What does having a sensitive tooth mean?
Most of the time they get sensitive because part of the tooth root is showing. Exposed root surface means that hot and cold feelings can reach the nerve of the tooth easier causing sensitivity from the nerve of the tooth. Brushing to hard, in the wrong direction or with whiting toothpaste can cause this sensitivity. This is not to be confused with pain when drinking or eating hot or cold things. Pain could indicate an infection in the nerve of a tooth. And needs to be treated with anti-biotics and root canal treatment or extraction.
What to do with an exposed nerve under a crown?
I had a cracked tooth vertically and doctordrilled around part of the tooth and put on a temporary crown. It started hurting after I eat somewhat and the crown came off today and it hurts alot with cold. I put the crown back on withcement and am wondering if putting crown back on will make the nerve die. he said on the phone I probably had an exposed nerve. What is the next step?Do they just put the cap back on or is there another step before the cap if there is exposed nerve?
