Pain, swelling, sometimes smell.
When you start having pain or cold sensitivity the decay has reached the nerve.
Only a dentist can tell with an X-ray.
There will be constant pain and throbbing.
When the cavity reaches the nerve, the patient will usually feel more pain and sensitivity.
When you get severe pain with cold and throbbing shooting pain
