Pain in tooth while eating

2018-06-16 19:37:05
The 4th last tooth (i think its this tooth) in my left upper jaw pains a bit when I chew food. Esp. anything hard like namkeen farsan, chakli etc. The pain is momentary and I think it happens when some hard food particle hits a specific area of tooth, but I am unable to identify which area. I visited my family dentist, but he was unable to identify the problem even after proper checkup. He prescribed an OPG (attached here) but he did not find any problem after seeing it. I don't have any sinus issues and I am not suffering from cold/cough. I have only once done a cavity fillling, but I think it was a different tooth. I am now seeking a 2nd opinion on Practo. Pls check attached OPG.

There could be a cavity on the in that tooth near the gum margin mesially. Better than OPG , take a small IOPA X-ray for that tooth to confirm it and get it filled if required
