I have a cavity in my top-left molar... it's the only one I've had so far, and I've had it since I was very young, 7 or so, but it does hurt sometimes. Normally if its left alone, it feels fine, but when I eat or drink something, I have to be pretty careful, depending on what that is. I find I get bread and meat stuck up in there quite often, but I don't really notice it that conciously because it doesn't hurt... I just sort of sit there picking at it with my tongue until it comes out, and then I have to go spit it out someplace. However, whenever I drink anything... especially anything with sugar, or anything very cold or hot...
Probably one of the worst things is ice cream. Thankfully I don't really like ice cream that much, but when I do, I have to kind of cock my head over sideways so it stays on the right side of my mouth... I imagine I look fairly ridiculous doing this, but it's neccesary...
Personally, I have a weird dislike of teeth anyway... they seem ugly to me. Whenever I smile, it's always with my mouth closed, and when I talk I try not to show them. This is probably a very good thing, though, because I'm one of those people that never remembers to brush them. I've actually managed to start brushing them once a week or so lately, a record for me, but still... I guess I'm pretty lucky I don't have any worse cavities yet.
One thing I've always wondered about, is that it feels like up in my cavity, there's a hole that goes through into the next tooth over... I'm not sure if I'm correct, but, like... here's my molar with the cavity | |, and the next tooth over is like this, | |||_|, except there's a little hole through the side of the molar that goes all the way into the next tooth, like | ._| ... I'm not sure if that's even possible, but that's what it feels like... and it hurts like hell whenever something manages to get in there, too...
Anyway, aside from that, and being kinda icky because I forget to brush, I think my teeth are fine.
Do you have any dental problems?
