Teeth

Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
I've got a molar on the upper left side of my mouth that hurts like fuck if I bite something hard.
At this point I should say I have booked an appointment with the dentist, but due to him being busy I can't be seen until 25 May!
Anyway, could this be a cavity?
I've never had a filling and I'm not right keen on getting one.
Or is it just sensitivity and I should brush with Sensodyne?

    It could well be a cavity, it could be something you've got stuck in it, or in the gap between the teeth, or it could be unhappy gums around it.

    If you can put up with it until the dentist appointment, then mention it when you go, if not ring up and make an emergency appointment.

    In the meantime, make sure you're brushing that area in particular and your whole mouth well with fluroide toothpaste.
