Do I Have a Cavity?
Okay, so the last three or two teeth in the bottom back hurts only SOMETIMES when I chew gum. Like I'd be chewing gum and all of a sudden I feel a sharp pain for like 15seconds and it goes away. This happens only sometimes -not often..is there anything wrong wtih my teeth or am I chewing gum too much =?

mi dad's a dentist
i recently asked him
i brush mi teeth all the time but i still get that pain too
it all depends on the type of food
if you dont feel the pain with other foods with sugar, it's not a cavity
but it you do get that pain with the other foods, it most likely is

If your teeth are sensitive to sugars such as gum, it's likely you have a cavity. They can also be sensitive to heat or cold. If it's pressure, or chewing, that causes the pain, it could be other things as well. Teenagers (I don't know how old you are) sometimes get pain in a molar when their wisdom teeth are coming in if there's not enough room. You just need to see the dentist to find out. Hope you feel better.

I'm not a dentist but that does sound like there is a problem there. The only way to know is to make an appointment with a dentist to have your teeth cleaned and a checkup. They will then figure out where the pain is coming from. If it is a cavity (which it sounds like) they will fill it on the spot.
You did also mention in your note that this only seems to happen while chewing gum. I'm wondering if it is possible that the gum is sticking to dental work such as a filling and causing a sharp pain for a bit. At either rate pain even if t only happens sometimes is not acceptable and you need to see a dentist who can do something to help end it.
