I had recently been noticing tooth pains when drinking hot or cold fluids. This feeling seemed to have dissipated, but has now returned, with additional pain upon chewing. I had hoped to continue my decade long cavity-free streak, so I took it upon myself to double check through the trusted internet whether my symptoms indicated cavity. Here were my disappointing findings:
Step 1: Recognize teeth sensitivity as a possible cavity indicator. If you have tooth pain when eating or drinking things that are hot or cold, you could have a cavity. Constant tooth pain is also a symptom of a cavity.
As if having to come to terms with the high possibility of having a cavity wasn't worrisome enough...
Step 4: Note whether you have an unpleasant smell coming from your mouth. This can be the odor of decay. Often you will also be able to detect a bad taste as well.
Have I been sporting natural bad breath or a rotten-smelling mouth? I'm not sure which one to hope for. Bad breath and a cavity. This leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Literally, apparently. Rough day.
