    I've noticed for a while now, that when i eat a Yorkie bar, it has a painful effect on my teeth, somewhat similar to the sensation i get when eating ice-cream.

    Can anyone shed some light on this? What is in the Yorkie bar that makes my teeth curl up in pain? I dont even have to bite into it, even if I just let it melt i still get the same sensation.

    Sensitive teeth. Sugary bars sometimes to that to me. Try different bar, it's probably not just Yorkies causing a problem.

    Aye could be because Yorkie bars are quick thick so biting into them exposes your teeth to more sugar with the bite? like if you bit into icecream, whereas smaller bars/or say choc buttons etc, don't reach the base of your tooth to the same effect

    I suppose that makes sense, i'm not sensitive to any other chocolate, only these bars.

    Yeah, having to bite down so hard could make the nerves in your teeth temporarily more sensitive. So as a test try cutting up the next one so you are not taking monster bites.

    Yeah - take a look at the level of calories/fat in it, that's why! :P

    Reason why I said it, is that the base of a lot of my teeth have suddenly gotten sensitive to when sugar hits it, not all stuff, but certain things reach it. Due to apparently my gums being slightly torn/receeded at those spots.
