Why do my teeth suddenly hurt when I eat?

It’s one or two of the teeth at the back of my mouth (molars) and it’s only those teeth. I’m not one to complain about pain, I usually push through it, but I actually can’t chew on the side of my mouth because it hurts that bad. I have nice strong white teeth, I floss, brush two maybe 3 times a day and get enough calcium. I was at the dentist for the 1st time in almost 15 years about a month ago and he said my teeth were “great”… I don’t know whAt could have caused this sudden pain… Any input?!

depends u couldve developed cold or heat sensative spots caused by diroding enamle, u eat healthy and lots of fruits and vegetables have acid stuff tht causes tht make sure u brush ur teeth day and night and if it truned out thts what it is i recomend sensodine (it blocks ur nevr openings where enamle have deroded) and enamle hardner mouth wash and use em both the pain should stop or if thts not the case u might need ur wisdome teeth taken out hope this helped

Answer #2

Could be cavities or the hot/cold affecting the nerves inside the teeth…..

Answer #3

Ah sounds like wisdom teeth are comin in. They could be comin in crooked and makin your other teeth ache from the pressure when u chomp down on food. Might need an x-ray to see how your wisdom teeth are coming in. If they are going to be a problem best remove them. I still have mine in. They did that to me when they first came in… Now they are all the way in.. Kinda messed up my bottom teeth.. They are a little crooked now lol. Not to bad tho. Nothing a back bar couldnt fix

Answer #4

Naw I’ll my wisdom teeth came in nice, one came in kind of crooked but the dentist said it was an optional removal. Anyways my teeth felt better a few hours later after I posted haha. It’s all good now

Answer #5

Well thats good then… lol.

Answer #6

Those teeth just might be more sensitive than your other ones. Mine do that same thing though and are the ones in the back too :/
