Do I have a cavity under the filling?!
Question: Do I have a cavity under the filling.?
I had my teeth filled last year and now I'm experiencing sensitivity on one of my teeth. Every time I chew gum for a long period of time, a certain tooth gets really sensitive. After I brush my teeth, it's fine. I'm wondering if the dentist that did my fillings left a little spec of cavity in there. Or, if he didn't, then what might be the problem.?
The pain of the sensitivity only happens after I chew a piece of gum (or maybe candy too.?) for a long period of time, then it's fine after I brush my teeth. Could it be the sugar from the chewing gum.? If not that, then what.? I'm going to make an appointment tomorrow so I can get an X-ray done on my mouth. Until then, I'm looking for an answer. Any help is appreciated.Health Question & Answer

Answers:
you might have a new cavity. Or maybe its gum recession. Both can cause sensitivity, but you won't know for sure unless you get it checked out.
Ask the dentist to do a test, a lot of them have things to test out sensitive areasHealth Question & Answer

I bet you chew your gum hard and are jarring the tooth. Give up gum for awhile and give the tooth a rest.Health Question & Answer
