Hello. I'm 26 year old male and I would like to discuss one problem with people who maybe had some experience with this.
You see, one tooth was troubling me for at least a year and about six weeks ago I have decided to visit dentist. I just want to tell you that I have waited so long because I'm terrified when I think on dentist and I'm scared of anything connected with them. Anyway, the dentist putted the new crown on it and I was very satisfied with it. But, as soon as I came home- the new problem appeared. It became very sensitive to cold drinks. This is killing me for almost six weeks now and I don’t know what to do about it!

Hello. I'm very sorry that you have experienced this problem but I must tell you that your dentist probably made a mistake.
I am surprised that the dentist would have put a crown on the tooth if you had indicated occasional problems with the tooth.
There is probably undergoing process under your new crown and that’s why you should visit your dentist again.
He will probably remove that new crown and replace it with some medication that will affect your tooth nerve and prevent further irritation or maybe remove this nerve in one procedure called root canal. My advice is to maybe wait a little while longer, but if it doesn't get better pretty soon then go have the root canal procedure.
Wish you luck!
