Sensitive teeth
Hello all,
For last few months I have been suffering from sensitivity in my teeth which is on right side top. I feel it whenever I have sweets and not any other food. Only when I have sweet it's being awful experience for me.
Also i started feeling like it would spread across. Please suggest me to get rid of this problem which is taking out my life whenever I have my favourite sweets.

Hello
you need to get your x-ray done, if its cavity it needs to be filled, and if its near nerve then further treatment is needed.

If the sensitivity is localised like you mentioned then it's mostly due to a decay .

You need to visit dentist. Get all diagnostic procedures done. Then only treatment can be formulated. You must be having deep caries which needs immediate treatment.
