Dental, Bottom teeth thoothache pain
Pain in is in my bottom front teeth.
Within the last few weeks my bottom front teeth have really been causing me pain. They are really sensitive to cold. I am not sure it if is one tooth or more that is hurting. But even when I talk if cold air hits my teeth they hurt. Any food or drinks for sure hurts. It is like the pain is coming from the inside of my tooth or teeth.
I never had this before so I am worried it is some type of cavity that is hurting me. Though I have been to the dentist for my regular check ups and had no cavities issues then. Advise please on what I can do for the pain until I can afford to see the dentist.

Your pain can be for many different reasons. One may be that your tooth enamel is worn. Leaving your tooth sensitive to cold and hot items.
You also may have a small bit of food particle under your tooth and gum. causing you to have pain. Try flossing around the area that is giving you trouble and see if that helps.

Well it is possible that you have a start of a cavity in between your teeth. Sometime small cavities between teeth do not always get notice on the X-rays. Also sometimes cavities are just fast you may have not had any cavities the last time you went to the dentist but can get a new one in only a few months.
I would not put of seeing a dentist whenever you are having any type of tooth pain. The reason being is that pain is telling you that you have problems that need to be address one way or the other and putting things off will only make the issue get bigger and normally more expensive.
Try using tooth paste for sensitive teeth to see if that helps with the pain until you do visit a dentist.

See a dentist sooner then latter. Keep your teeth clean and use mouthwash. You may want to use Advil for the pain when needed. But only a dentist can stop the pain for good. I would not put off seeing a dentist.
