1st Trimester

What does it feel like to have a cavity?

One of my back teeth is hurting a little (feels like its sensitive, like i ate something cold) when I eat on that side. Any suggestions on what it might be? I've been very lucky and never had a cavity so I'm not sure what it would feel like.

thanks ladies!

Re: What does it feel like to have a cavity?

  • ive never had one that hurts - typically if you go to the dentist every 6 months, he'll find it before you're pain. if you are having pain, i would give your dentist a call to check it out.

  • You cant typically tell you have a cavity unless theres an infection or something else going on. I'd call you dentist ASAP...mouth pain is the worst from what I've heard.

  • Sounds like a cavity.

    There are lots of things they can do now that won't hurt the baby. I have one and I told them I don't want to mess with it until 2nd trimester.

  • The one's that I've had stung when I ate anything sweet.  Almost like a lightning bolt through my tooth into my jaw bone.  But, that was on the extreme side when I was waiting for my dental insurance to kick in.

  • It could be a cavity.  I had that feeling before and thought it was a cavity and was told it was from me grinding my teeth at night...something I never even knew i did.
  • thanks ladies, I guess I will see how it does in the next few days, hopefully its nothing because we don't have dental insurance and DH just had o have a root canal this week (that was a lot of money

  • Sensitive teeth are a symptom some pregnant women get.  The entire left side of my mouth feels like this on occasion.  Def put a call into a dentist if you really arent sure, but I get the same feeling, like I ate something cold.  Good luck!
