Find the cause. Usually needs a root canal tx
See your dentist. It could be sensitivity from cold or it could be more serious and need treatment.
I get rid of nerve pain by taking an x-ray, making the correct diagnosis, and then treat the underlying problem. See your dentist right away!
Go see a dentist.
What you have is a condition called irreversible pulpitis. This means the nerve needs a root canal treatment. That will completely eliminate the pain.
Have root canal treatment done.
Hi.

First, you need to know why you have the nerve pain on your front teeth. Treatment will be different depending on the conditions of the tooth.
It depends on the cause of the nerve pain. If the tooth is just sensitive, you can try using sensitivity toothpaste and/or fluoridated mouth-rinses, which can help. If the tooth has had trauma, a breakage, or a deep cavity causing an infection in the nerve space, however, the tooth would need a root canal to get you out of pain and make the tooth restorable.
Tooth nerve pain will not go away without a visit to your dentist. You may have a cavity, you may have had an accident and your tooth may have a
crack that something jarred your tooth and your nerve is exposed. See your dentist.
First you would need to find out if it is the nerve within the tooth or it is that your teeth are hitting too hard against one another which can cause sensitivity also. Generally if the tooth is sensitive to hot and cold that's usually a sure sign that it's the nerve and you need a root canal. If it's just sporadic sensitivity that it could be that the tooth needs to be adjusted so it doesn't bite so hard or your teeth may not be aligned properly so there are many causes for sensitivity
See a dentist. You may need your tooth to be evaluated for a cavity, a wear area (causing the sensitivity), or the need for root canal treatment.
