Question

earlier this year at easter i had a lot of chocolate....

1 of the things was a chocolate bar - solid at the bottom - i accidently bit into it too hard with my little frount tooth

since then it feels ...........bubbly, exposed, slightly throbbing - very slightly - doesnt hurt - just feels weird

i went to the dentist - he told me to have some hot salty water -4 a few evenings - i did

about 2 months later - it was still there! - so i went to the dentist again - he said he couldnt see anything...

help - it went away for a few months - now it is back again!!

what is it??

Answer 1

Could be sensitive teeth, just because you have good teeth doesn't mean you can't have sensitivity. Fruit juice (fresh) can strip your enamel slowly so it is recommended to brush before you drink it and not after.

Answer 2

The tooth you describe is called an incisor and depending on the state of your gums you may have cracked your root the pain that flairs up is probably an exposed nerve my suggestion is to have it x-rayed for possible damage below the gum line and don't leave the dentist till its sorted
