Endo. RCT diagnosis. Cold spray test
I have right jaw pain,ear pain with swelling for one month.Went to dentist last week,he said I might crack in one tooth&that might cause pain.he is not sure why I have swelling.no infection in any tooth. Went to Endo today.she did cold spray test.she didn't see any fracture.she did cold spray on all the tooth that side.i feel very sore in that tooth,she said I have more sensitivity in that tooth.and I need crown for that.Then I asked why I am getting throbbing pain at night.Then she tested again. She sprayed cold again on that tooth. It was cold and I was throbbing.I am a person who doesn't eat any cold foods.So it was very throbbing for 3 seconds and sore for 10-20 sec.she did more cold spray by mistake and she apologized.so I felt more throbbing and soreness after. It's been 8hrs after that test,I still feel sore in that tooth area which I haven't before.I had pain in the lower jaw only.It's very sore and little throbbing in that tooth.Is it harmful?does more cold spray harm nerves?

This loss of tooth structure extend into tooth pulp(tooth innerside)
Below enamel dentin named tubular structure is present. So you have feel more soreness after spray

You probably have a deep cavity or cervical abrasions that are caused by excessive brushing.
If the dentist is suspecting crack in the tooth then RCT followed by crown is the treatment of choice.
Next Steps
OPG required for further investigations
Health Tips
