Hi! I have a pain in a tooth on the left side of my mouth that only comes when ever i eat gummy candy. Its like a sharp pain. I dont get it when i chew gum or eat hot or cold stuff.. Its mainly whenever i eat a gummy. Im not sure if it is a cavity or anything like that but i was wondering what you thought it could be?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The pain can be because of the pulpal infection secondary to the decay. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get the tooth restored with root canal treatment. Mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
