• Answer:

  I am not sure if having a very hot soup can exactly damage your tooth but it can definitely give you a toothache. When your tooth feels an extreme temperature it can hurt your pulp where nerve endings and blood supply is found. Your pulp is connected to your root as well so it can also feel pain. You probably have sensitive teeth. They have remedies that may help you feel better at your local pharmacy. The only way to know if you actually damaged your tooth is to see a dentist. Hope I helped!!
