[|Human|] I have a on and off shock like sensation because of a really bad cavity, most likely a nerve is exposed? It seriously is the WORST pain I have ever felt! I have scheduled a dentist appointment to get my cavity looked at but I am so worried that while Im getting my tooth worked on that shock like sensation will come again! Im worried only because it literally makes me flinch which could be horrible while getting tooth work, should I be worried?
[|AI|]  Hi! Welcome to Chat Doctor. I read your query. The shocking sensation you described might be actually pain sensation due to pulp exposure or cold sensation. Does that happen anytime or does it relate to having something hot or cold or clenching? I suggest you visit a dentist and get it checked. An x-ray of tooth will help in diagnosis. If there is a swelling or something, you can have antibiotic prescribed from dentist. Try using Tylenol or Ibuprofen for pain. Permanent solution is cavity filling, RCT or extraction depending on x-ray. Hope the answer helps you. Thank you!
