Possible tooth decay. (dental caries)

Bacteria that live in your mouth work on the sugars and carbs on your teeth to form a sticky plaque that sticks to the surface of your teeth.

With time, the acid in the plaque erodes your tooth's coating leading to tiny openings called cavities on the surface.

The first sign of a decay may be a sensation when you eat sweet, very cold or very hot stuff. You need to see a dentist before it gets worse.

Pain may be isolated to a single tooth and usually stops when the stimulus is removed.
