How do I know if I have a cavity?
My tooth hurts and I have braces and the rubber bands are right next to it, so is it a cavity?

It isn't black or anything, it just hurts.
Answers:
I bet there's a 99.8% chance your tooth hurts because your braces are doing what they're supposed to do - shift the holes in your jaw bone so your teeth can move, which hurts.
Still, ask your dentist when you go back in for an adjustment. They won't want you to get cavities from the brackets they installed.
