Is it possible to get a cavity on the front side of a tooth?

On one of my side teeth (about three over from front right tooth) I have what feels like a small hole or gap, where tooth meets gum on the outside touching the inner lip. It doesn't bother me, but if I push on the "gap" area with my nail I have that zinging sensation, like nerve or whatever. Is it possible for this to be a cavity? I take great care of my teeth and don't know what it could be.

Yes, it sounds like a cavity, you can get them on any part of your tooth. I had a cavity in the exact same spot, same thing as you describe, the dentist just used a white filling and fixed it. Sometimes no matter how well we take care of our teeth a cavity will happen so don't feel bad about it.
Reply:yeah they can now fill it out and use uv light to colour it same colour as the rest of ur teeth
Reply:Yes... i had one before and it amazed me that out of the hardest places to get a cavity i actually got one.
Reply:The dentist told me this is called a ridge. It is where plague has built up and formed a ridge right next to the gum and the gum has receded. It hurts like whiz. My dentist put a small filling in there for me so I would not get those awful shock feeling or sensation. Talk to ya dentist.
Reply:The gum has receeded back from the tooth, my dentist filled it for me and eliminated the zings when something touched it. It also looks better. Good luck.
Reply:WHAT YOU ARE DESCRIBING IS A SMALL GAP EXPOSING YOUR CEMENTO-ENAMEL JUNCTION, FROM THE RECEDING GUM.


THIS IS EASILY FIXED BY YOUR DENTIST.
