A member asked:

What could be the reason that my teeth are sensitive/experience pain when eating sugary foods such as candy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See Dentist: Cavities (probably), fractures, exposed root surfaces. You'll need to be evaluated by a Dentist before your sweet sensitivity morphed into an abscess. Please call your Dentist now.
