Teeth really hurting.. think i may have bruised my teeth help please.?

When you have a hole in your tooth, the decay spreads to the nerve and eventually the nerve starts to die. The next stage is some inflammation around the tip of the root of the tooth (the start of an abscess). Biting on the tooth puts pressure on this area which causes terrible toothache. You might want to phone your dentist to check if they can see you any sooner. It sounds to me like you might need a root c treatment. It is unlikely to be a "bruised tooth". Bruising of teeth may refer to concussion of a tooth following trauma. In your case this is unlikely. See your dentist.
