My tooth is aching but there is no blackening on the teeth could this be due to cold?

Question

Tooth ache can be due to many reasons. If you are having pain on taking cold it may be due to attrition. If it is while taking hot then there might be a cavity which has reached the blood vessel that is pulp. We can only asses the pain after seeing an OPG XRay. Blackening may not be seen if the cavity is in between two teeth. You can use some desensitizing paste and do warm salt water gargle.

Plz visit dentist. He/she ll take x-ray if necessary. Some cavities are interproximal (between two teeth) which might cause toothache/sensitivity. These cavities can be detected on xray.

Could be. Severe cold sometime give the feeling of tender teeth. But still get an xray done and visit a dentist as sometimes caries are not visible to the self.

May be that caries are present in between 2 teeth which is difficult for you to see. Kindly get an X-ray done of the tooth having pain. May be you will have to get root canal treatment done followed by a cap/crown. Brush your teeth twice daily using correct brushing technique to maintain your oral hygiene.
