Could this be a dead nerve?!
Question: Could this be a dead nerve?
I have a cavity in one of my back teeth and it hurt for a week or so a while back but I've felt barely any pain from it lately. What could this mean?

It's not a dead nerve.it doesn't hurt now but it will hurt someday! better go to the dentist.
when in doubt.. consult a professional.. pain can come and go because you subconsciously avoid that tooth when chewing.. but a cavity is still a cavity.. its like a cancer on a tooth.. it will kill it eventually.. while making your breath bad and causing you pain in the process.
