In all likelihood, what happens is this!.
You have cavities so your teeth are sensitive!. For this reason, you tend to avoid chewing where they are sensitive!. Therefore, either your bite shifts or your teeth get worn down, either way your bite changes!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well, a cavity is on the outside of your tooth, and it doesn't make your tooth any bigger!. I really don't think they can!. They will be sensitive because there is a cavity there, obviously!. I would make an appointment to the denist and get those suckers filled pronto! Then if your symptoms persist, make another appointment and ask your dentist what is the problem! (or while you are there the first time getting them filled, you can ask)Www@Answer-Health@Com
