Is it a Cavity or Tooth Sensitivity?

Although a cavity can lead to tooth pain, cavities and tooth sensitivity are different. Remember to see your dentist to confirm.

Whether the pain feels short and sharp, or an ongoing dull ache, pain in your teeth shouldn't happen in the first place. It can be a sign of sensitivity, or something more serious such as a cavity. You should see your dentist for a diagnosis.
