I was chewing gum and i think i bit down too hard and my tooth/jaw made a noise and now when i chew my food and feel like i have a sensitive tooth. when i prod it with my finger, it also hurts. i can't feel any cracks, though.

Trauma: Just another reason to avoid gum chewing. You may have a fractured tooth. Please see your Dentist who can do more testing than "prodding" to determine the cause of your pain and the appropriate treatment.
