If you feel like there is a hole in it, thats a sign... also if you eat/drink something super cold (like icecream) and it makes a stabbing/throbbing ache then thats another.

Cavities often don't feel like anything until they're very bad. Also, they typically visually look different--the part that has the cavity may look darker. If you've been to the dentist, they can usually spot them-even small ones. I'd imagine they're easier to spot on front teeth too so it may not be that. When was the last time you were at the dentist?

I went to the dentist this morning because I have (surprise, surprise) a cavity on one of my wisdom tooth which I knew about but it's beginning to hurt. I have to have the tooth pulled but I have just been putting it off. My new dentist is young and very cute. It's kind of weird. :)

lol woo cute dentist!

i haven't been in a looong time, but it doesn't hurt, it just feels... weird. -shrug- maybe i had too much cold stuff to drink. i have sensitive teeth.

If you have insurance, don't put off going to the dentist. Having your own real teeth is about a million bajillion times better than having any sort of fake teeth (bridges, caps, or dentures, duh). My mom was in a bad car accident and has had to have bridges to replace teeth that she broke and it's sooo expensive and you have to maintain them

Oh, and in addition to what the first poster said...if you poke a cavity with something pointy (like a needle--be careful and sterilize it) it may feel softer than your regular tooth.
