Reason for Toothache (In Mornings)?

I have found ever since winter has started, as soon as I get up in the mornings one of my tooth aches if I eat something. It goes away as soon as I drink anything hot, and I'm fine for the rest of the day. No pain etc while brushing, just that moment....and its only 1 tooth..

Any ideas as to what might be causing this?
Is it probably because it's colder in the morning?:confused:

    It could be acid reflux. I suffer from that and get toothache in the morning too

    I'd get to the doctor as soon as.
    Sometimes, toothache is a sign that something is wrong elsewhere. So I'd get it checked out because if it's an early warning sign, you'd be best not to ignore it

    I'd suggest the dentist as the first stop. They can examine the tooth better than the doctor and if it could be something more general than the tooth they will advise you to go to the doctor anyway.

    1st sign something is wrong - my advice, get it checked out before everything shuts for the xmas holidays.

    sounds like a cavity and the cold is getting in and is aggravating the nerve (which will be less shielded than normal if theres a cavity). When you have a hot drink it relieves the pain.
