I totally get the anxietyβ€”had my first dental visit in years last month, and I was convinced they'd find a disaster zone in there. Turns out, it wasn't as bad as I imagined. About your question, when my mom's crown cracked, she said she felt some mild sensitivity for a couple days before it happened, nothing extreme though. Your tooth sensitivity might just be something minor like hers was. Fingers crossed it's nothing major...but honestly, getting it checked sooner rather than later is always better.

I understand your concernβ€”dental issues can be pretty unsettling, especially when it's your kid involved. A few months ago, my daughter had sudden tooth sensitivity too. We initially thought it was something minor, but decided to get a second opinion just to be thorough. Turned out she had a tiny crack that wasn't immediately obvious. Thankfully, catching it early made treatment straightforward and quick. Your situation might be nothing serious, but it's always reassuring to have clarity sooner rather than later. Hope everything turns out well for you...

Reading your experience makes me wonder if I should've acted quicker with my own tooth issue. A couple months back, I started feeling this weird sensitivity whenever I drank something cold. At first, I brushed it off as nothing seriousβ€”figured maybe I'd just been brushing too hard or something. But now I'm thinking, could it have been a tiny crack like your daughter's? Did your dentist mention how common these small cracks are, or what usually causes them? I'm scheduled for my first-ever dental appointment next week (yeah, I know, long overdue...), and honestly, I'm a bit anxious about what they'll find. Hoping it's nothing major, but your story definitely makes me think it's better to get checked sooner rather than later.

Honestly, I wouldn't stress too much about tiny cracksβ€”dentists love pointing out stuff we never even noticed. Could just be enamel wear or sensitivity from acidic foods...been there myself. Better to check, sure, but don't lose sleep over it yet.

Are you sure about that? I ignored a tiny crack once, thinking it was nothing serious... ended up needing a crown later. Maybe I'm overly cautious, but isn't it better to get it checked sooner rather than later?
