What causes needle like sting inside front tooth?
Patient: I was woken up by an needle like sting inside my left front tooth. It is verry irritating and I have trouble going back to sleep. I tried brushing them, I used mouth rinse and flossed to see if there was maybe just something in there, but it wont go away. What can I do? Doctor: Thanks for using Health Care magic.Read your query.The symptoms that you have mentioned suggests decay in the tooth and the shooting pain is caused by this.(pulpitis)I would advice you to take ibuprofen (if you are not allergic to any medicine) for instant relief of the pain.Please visit your local dentist and have a radiograph done to evaluate the tooth.Get the tooth restored .Hope this was useful.Thanks and regards.
