Cold teeth from ice cream is cavity?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually not: Most of the time, cold from ice cream is not a cavity. It's a function of the cold penetrating to the nerve of the tooth telling you to get the cold away from the teeth. Best way to be sure is to see a dentist to have teeth evaluated.
