Maybe a part of your tooth broke off? Or was it a filling? It doesn\u2019t hurt, and you forgot about it for a few months. But now the tooth is sensitive and hurts every time you drink some cold water. You waited a few days and now the tooth is hurting constantly!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-84 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vuedentalkyle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/dentist-dentistry.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"729\" height=\"425\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vuedentalkyle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/dentist-dentistry.jpg 729w, https:\/\/www.vuedentalkyle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/dentist-dentistry-300x175.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 729px) 100vw, 729px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>This is a dental emergency.<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Let&#8217;s first talk about the common causes of tooth ache or pain, and what situations qualify as a Dental Emergency!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Having<\/strong> a crack or a big hole\/cavity in a tooth will often cause the nerve inside the tooth to be infected and therefore cause tooth pain.<\/li>\n<li><strong>In<\/strong> some cases, teeth that have large fillings can become sensitive to hot and cold and can cause the nerve to cause pain.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Accidents<\/strong> and trauma to the front of the face can often lead to broken or fractured teeth which can be painful.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tooth<\/strong> pain can often be linked to facial swelling. This is a high risk situation since infections and swellings in the face area can often lead to life threatening emergencies if not treated in due time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Broken<\/strong> down teeth may also get infected from time to time and cause pain.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Gum<\/strong> abscesses can also cause pain in the bone\/jaws.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>All of these situations are not pleasant for the patient. The best thing to do would be to call your dentist and request an appointment for a consultation.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; When it comes to dental emergencies the main constant seems to be that they always come at inopportune times.
