Whenever I eat something generally high in
sugar I suppose, it seems to trigger this
effect on my teeth which lasts a couple of
days. Once triggered, it hurts to brush
the tooth or eat hard food with it. The
pain sends tingles through my body and my
hairs stand on end. A few days later the
issue seems to be gone until I eat
something sugary.
I would guess this might be your normal
cavity. Whenever a dentist puts a filling
in I hope the problem would stop, but
unfortunately it doesn't.
This problem has been going on for most of
my life, with the site of pain seemingly
changing. Right now it hurts to
brush/chew on the top right and lower left
of my mouth. I just got back from the
dentist two days ago, and he says I have
one little cavity on my lower left.
Could he have missed a cavity in the top
right? Or is there something I haven't
heard of wrong with my teeth?
Thanks in advance.

Perhaps your bite is off-i would have your
dentist evaluate your occlusion(bite).It's
very odd to have such pain for your entire
life,sounds like more than a tooth
issue.Good luck!!

It's r eally hard to say what it could be
with out x-rays (radiographs), and an
exam. As the previous poster said, it
could be your bite is a little off. In
my opinion, I think that it could be root
exposure due to gum recession. The roots
of the teeth don't have that protective
enamel covering over them, which means
that they are more succeptible to extreme
sensitivity and decay. I would try using
a sensitive toothpaste and see if that
helps you, also, maybe try using a
fluoride home rinse to help strengthen
your teeth. Did you tell the dentist
that you were having sensitivity in that
area? If it's still bothering you after
you try the sensitive toothpaste- call the
dentist and have another exam done, and
see what they recommend. Good luck to
you- let us know how it goes. (p.S. -
i'm a dental hygienist)
