Sometimes teeth pain is about pressure, sometimes sensitivity to hot, sometimes to cold, etc. Could you tell?
Pain for duration of cold stimulus - early-to-mid size dental caries; root or abfraction sensitivity; mild gingival inflammation


Pain lingering after cold - acute pulpitis, possibly reversible; moderate gingival inflammation


Pain on hot stimulus - chronic pulpitis, generally not reversible; periapical area, such as abscess or granuloma; more severe gingival inflammation


Pain on pressure that remains after stimuls is gone - periapical area, such as abscess or granuloma; occlusal trauma (periodontal ligament inflammation)


Pain only at the instant of biting pressure or upon release of biting pressure - cracked tooth





These are a few that come to mind... Are you having a problem or writing a paper?
Reply:the sensitivity to cold and hot could be due to the weakening of your tooth enamel -try using toothpaste made especially for sensitive teeth..





ideally you should speak to your dentist ... only he (or she) will be able to diagnose the problem correctly
Reply:maybe its a sign to indicate that you are about to get a cavity
Reply:If your tooth hurts for no apparent reason and hurts real bad (throbbing pain) and does not go away till you take medication, you most likely need a root canal. A tooth hurting on pressure could need something as simple as an occlusal adjustment or it could need a root canal. Tooth hurting on pressure is usually indicative of periodontal (gum and bone around tooth) problem.


Sensitive to heat happens when the pulp of the tooth is injured for some reason.
Reply:Sensitvity to temperature can be because of loss of tooth enamel. When it's pressure and temperature it can be am abcess or cyst. Go to your dentist and tell him all your symptoms, he'll take an X-ray to verify. But you will probably need a root canal.
