Why do my teeth feel and unbearable cold when eating cold products, like ice cream and what causes it?

Question

When I put cold food like ice cream in my mouth, my teeth ache, sting, and have a freezing sensation. Why is my mouth so sensitive, I never felt it years ago.

Answer 1

you might have a cavity!!

Answer 2

It's because the nerve endings along your gum line have become exposed. It's called sensitive teeth and a good toothpaste like Sensodyne will certainly help with the pain. Sugar and hot foods can cause the same pain. I've had sensitive teeth for years.

Answer 3

It can be caused by receding gum lines that reveal sensitive nerves, a cavity, or very then enamel on the tooth. You need to see a dentist as soon as possible. If you have a cavity that goes to long without being filled your tooth could abscess and become infected with risk of serious illness causing more pain and a longer visit in the dentist chair. It's funny how things happen as we get older. My knees never used to pop.

Answer 4

I much prefer ice cream in cold weather. It seems to balance the temp inside/out. In summer, eating ice cream only reminds me of how hot it is outside!
