And its not the tooth that needs filling that hurts, its on the same side but not the same tooth.

Sweetness activates the nerves going to your tooth and that's why eating chocolate can make your teeth hurt. Hot and cold things also can make your teeth hurt. I would recommend going to see a good dentist before your tooth gets worse and you need root canal-those really suck.
The other tooth may hurt because of referred pain. When one part of your body gets sensitized, it can make some other place in your body hurt. This often happens with teeth.
P.S. I love chocolate too!

argh! a cavity is a possibility but I have no cavities. My teeth are just sensitive to sweets--not a bad thing, I guess. They used to be extremely sensitive to hot/cold. I was trying to find an answer to this as well but everybody just wants to send anyone who asks to the dentist rather than offer an explanation. My teeth also hurt when I get extremely congested. My dentist said that she doesn't think it is common but she has had other patients say the same thing. Maybe I should ask her about sweets.

its the glucose/sucrose (sugar) eating away at the infected tooth - a complex reaction with bacteria at the tooth surface, its a fast reaction isnt it !!
I hope that you dont suffer too long and get to a dentist soon :-)
little tip? A product called "Rennie's" in the UK, not sure about the US, its a small tablet to fight acid indigestion.. chew on a small Rennie tablet if it becomes really intense, it will also become a barrier to other sugars, etc coming into contact with the affected part of the tooth... I hope that the toothache does not spoil your hoilday

It's probably an abscess in your tooth, just see a dentist and get drained, some medication and gone in a short while.

I've recently started feeling that too. Have you noticed your gums receding a little? That may expose nerves which may make your teeth a little more sensitive to sweet.
Bam... early thirties? Or is it happening too soon for me?

spot on above.
The sugar attacks the enamel on your teeth leading to cavities which then expose the inside of the tooth and nerve endings. Some poeples teeth are more enamel than others giving them more sensitive teeth.

The sugar turns to acid and attacks and erodes the tooth enamel. When you need a filling it hurts as it can then get to the softer stuff under the enamel

Sugar feeds bacteria. Bacteria produce an acid which eats into your teeth. More sugar - more bacteria - more tooth eating acids - more tooth ache.
