What Causes Pain In Broken Tooth Area?

Hi there, about 6 months ago one of my molers broke away after eating. The last a month I have now started to experience a lot of pain in that area, especially of a night time. The pain travels along my jaw, to my ear and then to my temple. I have noticed it particularly hurts after ice-cream or after I have lied down. Obviously, I will need to go to the dentist for an x-ray. Any thoughts? Thank you

If you have a broken tooth, see your dentist as soon as possible. Your dentist can figure out if the break was caused by a cavity, and if the tooth's nerve is in danger. A damaged nerve usually will require root canal treatment.
