A member asked:
I need some help please! why is a healthy tooth suddenly sensitive to food?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Healthy tooth: Did your dentist examine that tooth and tell you there is nothing wrong with it and that it is healthy? If so, the tooth may have recession, your bite might be off, or the tooth may have a fracture that went undetected. If you have not seen a dentist for this yet, you should... The tooth may not be as healthy as you think.
