But just to be sure, you should tell your mother about it and ask her to make an appointment for you to see a dentist. The dentist will gently examine you and then be able to advise you what to do.There are toothpastes for sensitive teeth that can be helpful. ut going to the dentist is the only way t

Cavity: Probably have cavity that needs repair. Fix it now and it' seashore. Put it off and it's hard. Please tell your mom and go see the Dentist NOW. You'll be glad you did.

Another possibility: Another possible cause could be due to the acidic nature of the oranges. Sometimes eroded or exposed areas on teeth can be extra sensitive to acid, air, sweet, and temperature changes. These may not be a cavity now, but could be if left unattended to for long periods or if hygiene is poor. Best to have your dentist evaluate and restore if needed or place a fluoride varnish that might help.
