A professional opinion since my retired Oral Surgeon father is in an altzheimers lockdown and is no longer available for dental issues....
Today on the hill, I was getting some tooth pain on one of my lower central incisors that felt thermal. It was single digits and I was smiling because the skiing is good. When I used to have an amalgam in the only reconstructed tooth in my mouth, I'd get the same kind of tingle when I put a fork on it. Since I've basically had zero dental problems for my entire life, I don't know if this is a normal part of turning 50 and wearing down enamel or whatever. Is this a "go to a dentist immediately" thing or should I wait and see if I have more issues?
