Tooth killing me

One tooth is killing me. It seems to be worse when cold air hits it. I've never had this before, i've never even had a cavity but i read on the net that this could lead to me losing my tooth. Can't see the dentist till July. Is there anywhere else I can go or anyone whose had this? Cheers

Nope. Dentist or nothing really. Or there's the old bit-of-string-tied-to-doorhandle scenario...

Bloody dentists. No idea sorry, but when I had an abcess in my tooth, it helped to use sensodyne toothpaste - took the pain away.

Phone local dental hospital if you can they will be able to give you an emergency appointment. You cant wait until july, the problem may be fixable at the moment but the longer you leave it the worse it will become.

Don't worry it is hardly likely to kill you :rolleyes:

I am sure you can get an emergency appointment.

If it's not loose/rotten/damaged, it's sensitive. Use Sensodyne toothpaste and try to keep your fingers out of your mouth. (Good advice regardless, but especially if you're worried about dental hygiene.)

EDIT: I actually get the same thing in one tooth. If it starts to go purple, it could be due to the nerve dying and blood getting trapped inside it or something like that. But if it still *looks* fine, it's probably what I described above.
