My canines hurt whenever food touches them

[TheWaterDude]

Whenever I eat a lot of chips(like lays) or candy, my canine teeth hurt whenever they're touched by food. If I try to eat anything and it touches a canine tooth there is a sharp kind of stinging pain but whenever nothing is touching them they feel normal. Any ideas? Thanks

It is hard to determine other than guessing without a full evaluation. How long are your canine teeth sensitive?

Usually about 3-4 days if I don't provoke it too much

Have your dentist check it out for anything serious. It could be nothing, possible cavity, possible gum disease or trauma, possible enamel/dentin damage or trauma, possible root exposure or trauma, possible filling sensitivity or damage/recurrent cavity, or possible grinding/clenching.
