If the cause of your habits is a sharp stabbing pain that appears out of nowhere when eating, you may be dealing with a fractured tooth -- and that's serious business.
So, how do you know if you have a cavity? Well, depending on the severity of your tooth decay, you may experience a variety of symptoms. Here are some the accompanying symptoms that go along with tooth decay.
- Nothing (in the early stages)
- A toothache or spontaneous tooth pain
-Tooth Sensitivity
-Pain (Slight or Severe) when eating something sweet, hot, or cold
-Staining (brown, black or white) on the surface of your tooth
-Visible holes in your tooth. Those holes are cavities
-Pain when biting down
