For well over a year now, one of my molars has been overly sensative to pressure, but only when something touches it a certain way. The two items that stick out that hurt my tooth most are Nerds and any kind of gum that if I chew hard on that side of my mouth, will cause that tooth to be sensative. It's kind of a sharper type pain. At first this was a really bad pain, but got better after a while. Now it seems to be the same as it was a year ago...only slightly annoying.
The interesting thing is, this tooth only started to hurt after a cavity was filled in it. My dentist took some of the filling off, as much as possible, and made me bite on some sort of cracked tooth thing, which didn't seem to be TOO painful on my tooth.
What could cause this? I tend to chew on ice a little bit every now and then, could this be the cause? So far I've lived with it, and usually don't notice, unless gum or a nerd gets into that right spot.
