Super sweet food?!
Question: I don't know if this is normal or not, but when I eat REALLY sweet stuff, it hurts my molars on the back. I was eating a danish yesterday and it had like 36 grams of sugar or something! I mean, if I eat regular sweet stuff like chocolate and stuff, it doesn't hurt, but the REALLY sweet stuff hurts my back molars. Is that suppose to be normal? Have you experienced this? Is this an indication that I have cavities because I just went to the dentist 8 months ago and got my cavities fixed. But by eating SUPER SWEET stuff, and then hurting your teeth, is that normal?

It is normal. This same dilemma JUST happened with me. Wheverever I'd eat anything SUPER sweet, I mean like really really ridculously sweet with an insane amount of sugar - (specifically sour skittles, sour patch kids, and Smirnoff Ices) - I'd have this weird, painful, make me wanna twitch sensation in the grooves of my molars. I was SURE I had a cavity - totally bummed.
Buuut, then I went to the dentist a week ago and I had NONE! Woo hoo! Confused, I asked him about my problem and he said it's simply sensitivity, and if I don't want to feel it, don't eat those sweets. =X
The only thing that gets me, is you said it was a danish. 36 grams of sugar or not, that's not really in the same family of candy that sticks to your teeth or beverages that make your teeth want to wince! But, at the same time, I guess it could be! Everyone's different. Also, if it helps, the feeling I experienced was a SEVERE discomfort w/ the sweet. At night, when I'd brush my teeth after eating it, the feeling of the bristles in the crevices of my teeth made me want to jump! So if you want to play it safe, see your dentist...
And good luck! =D
It's normal. You have sensitive teeth. Just avoid super sweet food.
