Your teeth are probably damaged, so when you have sugar and it gets into those damaged layers, the sugar itself irritates the tooth, and when it breaks down further due to mouth bacteria/saliva it continues to irritate the tooth and damage the more tender structures.

Go to the dentist as soon as you are able to do so.
