Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / October 2008Teeth after chocolate
I've had my bottom two front teeth feeling very sensitive over the last couple of days - I've had the feeling before but it comes and goes. The only thing I can think of is that I have been eating more chocolate than usual and wondered if that can temporarily effect the feeling of my teeth or is it likely to be some other problem. It isn't pain as such, just weird feelings.

It should be looked at, esp. if you're due for a checkup.

My chin kind of feels stiff Allowing for some flexibility in the clinical definition of "weird"--not likely, except if there is an abscess present. But this would not be consistent with sensitivity to sweets, so my guess is that any feeling in the chin is not likely to be tooth-related.

Would have left out that 'bomb' statement in this day and time though. |
