Q.
I cracked my tooth when I fell on a night out. It did not hurt all that much at the time time but now the tooth feels quite sensitive to cold water and even hot drinks. Is it possible that the nerve has been damaged? If I go to te dentist what can I expect?

A.
Definitely go to the dentist. A cracked tooth can become infected. Sometimes the response to heat or cold after trauma is normal. It should be evaluated nonetheless.
