Visitor asks:
Hello,
I am 21 years old and have some problems with my teeth. All of a sudden I started having pain in the upper left first premolar. The pain is sudden and short, but very unpleasant. I have the feeling that it comes from the interdental space between the first and second premolars. On inspection the tooth (first premolar) looks completely healthy; only some "lines" can be seen on the "crown". Is it possible that some disease process has started in the tooth? What do you think could be happening to my tooth?
Thank you for your answers and kind regards.

Dear Sir/Madam!
The clinical sign is certainly worth attention: it may only be a hypersensitive area at the tooth neck in the interdental space, which can be alleviated with special coatings. However, tooth sensitivity may also be a sign of caries in the interdental space, which can be diagnosed with an X-ray if it is not yet visible.
Have a nice day!
