Hey Sylvia!
Thanks for the question. Tooth sensitivity when you bite down could be due to
1. Hard Brushing - brushing your teeth too hard can lead to sensitivity
2. New cavities / leaking fillings
3. Gum inflammation
4. Cracked tooth syndrome
My advice would be to visit your local dentist and describe your symptoms as well as to include any relevant pain history if this sensitivity in the lower right molar has happened before.
You will probably need to take a dental x-ray to check the internal structure of the tooth as well.
Hope you feel better soon!
Regards
Dr Beth Seow
