Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint if there is such a severe pain in your teeth that is relieved by sipping cold water it probably explains that there is inflammation in the nerves of the teeth and needs immediate treatment. You should consult a dentist and get an x Ray done and in case of Decayed teeth involving nerves of teeth root canal treatment followed by antibiotics and painkillers will relieve. If the pain is due to any cracks in teeth caused by any traumatic injury or caused by biting on something very hard then the treatment that is root canal treatment or extraction will depend upon the location of fracture where crown fracture are treatable while root fractures mostly needs extraction of tooth. As of now you can take a higher painkiller that can relieve severe pain like TRAMADOL. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards. Chat Doctor.
