I was playing football a while back (about 2 months or so) and i went in for a tackle and got elbowed in the mouth. One of my front teeth and the one next to it went numb for a while but they hurt if i tried to put anykind of pressure on it. I went to the dentist and he said he didnt see anything wrong and i waited like a week and everything felt normal except whenever i ate cold foods or opened my mouth for too long in the cold my front tooth would hurt. I went back a few days ago and he did a temperature test and said if i cant feel it on my tooth it's most likley dead. He did it and i couldnt feel any kind of temperature. There is a very small chip on the back of it and that is usually where i feel the pain from hot or cold but nowhere elese on the tooth. Is it normal to still feel pain like that on a dead tooth? I'm hoping maybe it means it's not dead but im pretty sure it is.
