if you break a tooth and there is a gaping hole how long before the nerve makes you feel your head is going to explode?

It depends on how the break is. Some times as soon as it breaks you hit your knees in agony. Other times it bothers you when you have hot or cold, or it doesn't bother you at all. Any way it goes you need to go to the dentist. It will become a cavity and you can get an abscess that can and will become poison, better get it fixed now, the longer you wait the worse it gets and the more money it cost. If you don't have dental insurance go to the health department they are on a sliding scale.

Not very long, You might want to schedule an appointment w/ your dentist immediately, i don't think you would want to go through the throbbing pain. An exposed nerve can be pretty painful and you might need a root canal. Go NOW

about 7-10 years or so.
It will get yanked after that. Might as well do it now.
I have a HUGE fear of the dentist from my chilhood so I lived with the pain until it rotted out of my head.
Oh by the way your breathe stinks too.

If you have a hole, you need to go to a dentist a.s.a.p. You can get bonding done to fix it. If you don't fix it you might get an infection and than you might need a root canal. It might start to hurt as soon as it happens or as soon as you eat something hot or cold, ouch! Good Luck!

Not long. Get an emergency appointment with the dentist.

I am pretty sure you should have already seen the dentist about this. The next question you will be posting will be related to dry socket!

well depends on how you broke it. PS put it in a cup of cold ice milk and bring it to your dentist asap if you make it in time they can put it back for you.
