10 Cavity Symptoms
Symptom #2: Sensitive Teeth
Sensitive teeth differ from a toothache a little because whereas a toothache is constant, a sensitive tooth is triggered by certain stimuli. Such stimuli are often hot or cold foods while sugary foods can also sometimes cause pain. It is a common symptom of cavities and can be very painful for the patient.
Sensitive teeth are fairly common even among people that don’t have cavities or other problems. We generally just learn to avoid cold food where possible if it causes pain and it will usually not cause any other problems. Sensitivity to hot food is less common, though, and a strong indicator that you do have a cavity.
