Sensitivity (sensation) of teeth to hot or cold liquids or foods?
Pain/sensation in teeth on having something sweet?
Pain in teeth on chewing/eating anything or applying pressure?
If yes then you could have decay/cavity/caries
If a small amount of food debris is left in your teeth, the bacteria which are present in the mouth react with the food. As a result, acid is produced. This acid starts dissolving out the tooth leading to decay/cavity/ caries or a hole in the tooth.
:: IT IS BEST TO GET THE TOOTH CHECKED AT THIS STAGE ::
This would involve a short visit to the dentist and the problem is resolved by getting a filling in the tooth which could be silver or of a white tooth coloured material [cosmetic /composite filling]. If ignored, the cavity becomes bigger, penetrates the top layer(enamel), middle layer(dentine) to reach and infect the nerve of the tooth. It is now beyond the filling stage.
