i thought it was a front tooth, a molar is dangerous as you have multiple nerve endings over just 1 or 2 in the front teeth, the longer you wait the fast decay sets in and rots the enamel to the nerves...if you are feeling the pain already from cold water then you have possiblly cracked an area going to the nerve, getting this checked and fixed can not only save you money, but a lot of pain down the road,, for instance your tooth decays to the point where not just enamel breaks away but more of the actual tooth, and perhaps even a root canal at that point which even though you have insurance, most likely a trip to an oral surgeon isnt covered by the insurance as at that point the surgury is considered cosmetic since it deals with the face where most insurances do not cover... so you can either ignore it and drink alcohol at room temps and just forget the pain or fix it now...
