Sharp shooting pain in broken tooth
I happen to be sleeping in the middle of night but I felt a sharp shooting pain in my broken tooth.
My tooth got broken long back may be 6 months .
I have suffered before with shooting pain in my teeth but I was ignoring this coz this thought is temporary might be automatically get healed up.

Healing up by itself it's is not possible after the pain has started.pain comes when the nerve portion of the teeth is exposed to the outside environment or bacteria or even nearing it.

consult ur doctr so that he can suggest a best treatment modality after clinically seeing how much tooth structure is left behind.

Talk to experienced dentist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
Case evaluation by the dentist will be required to assess the present clinical condition of the tooth based on which the treatment protocols can be explained to you. The treatment can vary from root canal treatment to extraction of the offending tooth and the distinction can be drawn after a checkup only.
Try not to delay the treatment before the symptoms aggravate further.
