What Causes Needle Like Sting Inside Front Tooth?

I was woken up by an needle like sting inside my left front tooth. It is verry irritating and I have trouble going back to sleep. I tried brushing them, I used mouth rinse and flossed to see if there was maybe just something in there, but it wont go away. What can I do?

Thanks for using Health Care magic.

Read your query.

The symptoms that you have mentioned suggests decay in the tooth and the shooting pain is caused by this.(pulpitis)

I would advice you to take ibuprofen (if you are not allergic to any medicine) for instant relief of the pain.
Please visit your local dentist and have a radiograph done to evaluate the tooth.Get the tooth restored .

Hope this was useful.

Thanks and regards.
