I ate lots of candy about 7 months ago, ever since i have had sharp pains shoot through my molars; my dentist found no cavities...what is wrong?

Sharp pains: Several possibilities, which require a clinical, visual and x-ray examination. That being said, if there is no decay and no infection, you may be grinding or clenching your teeth. Check back with your dentist, or seek a second opinion.

More info needed...: Is pain continuous, only when you bite down, with cold liquids, or with something sweet? Did the exam by your dentist include radiographs? Answers to these questions would be helpful in providing you with advice. Lacking this info, best bet is to get a second opinion from another local dentist.

See an endodontist: Endodontists are dentists who have at least 2-3 years of advanced training in root canals. They are experts at diagnosing sharp tooth pain and use advanced special equipment to treat patients efficiently and comfortably.
