Weird tooth problem?


When I bite down on things using the right side of my mouth, the bottom molar gives me basically a shocking pain, like someone touched a nerve(only on harder foods) . I really don't understand why, I'm 16, and I have dental sealant on that tooth. This has happened before on different teeth. Is there a reason why? Could it possibly be sensitive teeth?

I looked super close at the tooth, and there is no mark on it whatsoever. No chance for a cavity.

It sounds like either the sealant or your tooth is cracked.

You'll need to see your dentist right away. If it's cracked, the crack will get wider.

If THAT happens, you will experience the most excruciating pain of your life. I mean screaming pain.

I know because that happened to me.

It was HORRIBLE and I've never been so scared.

Yes, have that fixed right away!

It was when you said a little electric shock, that gave it away. That is a tiny bit of air hitting the nerve. You can't even IMAGINE, how much worse the pain gets if you ignore that.

I did and wow, was I ever SORRY!

Just multiply that electrical shock about 2 million times! WOW!!

I NEVER WANT TO GO THROUGH THAT AGAIN!!!

Just because you have a sealant, does not mean a cavity could not form. You need to go to your dentist.
You may have sensitive teet but, it is always best to consult your dentist.

There could be a cavity beneath the gumline that is not protected by the sealant.

I dunno....

ate any popcorn latley?could be a kernal

dude, it is normal that ur tooth is sensible if the sealant is freshly new. IF u went to the dentist recently, then just dont mind the pain, it will fade away eventually, it can take up to 3 months. It usually happens when the sealant is white. If its silver, then its not normal. go see ur dentist.
If its sensible to cold or heat, then try to brush with sensodyne, it does help

You are not going to find the answer to this question on here. You need to go to a dentist and get them to have a look. I would suggest some x-rays as if you have sealants on these teeth there may be something happening underneath which you may not be able to see simply by looking visually in your mouth.

It could be what happened to me- a fractured tooth. You may have a split and upon biting down it pulls open and exposing the nerve. I had to have a crown put on but got to keep the nerve.
