:exnbp:


I'll have to look when I get home... I can't see that far back.

Does it taste funny or have an odor?

I just got my wisdom teeth out... maybe it's jsut some food stuck back there.... but my tooth is really sensative... damnit. My schedule is so messed up... I have no free time when the doctors do either.

if you poke it with a stick and it hurts, it's probably a cavity.

um, actually, if it smells bad, that's not a good sign. it means there's either food stuck, and rotting, or an infection. either way, get thee to the dentist!

put a piece of foil in it. If it hurts like a biotch then you have a cavity I'm serious. It will hurt like no other pain you have had

It mainly hurts when cold hits it. I'm not sure if I wanna try the foil... :nervous: It hurts if I push on it really hard... but I can grab it and pull on it and it doesn't really hurt.

I narrowed down what the bad taste was... that's ok now.

It could be just sensitive nerves. One of my teef hurt like hell when something cold hits it, but I have no cavities whatsoever. All you need to do is look for something black in your teef, and if it's caved in.
