Sensitive teeth suddenly?

Question

For some reason, over the past few days, all the teeth on the left side of my mouth, top and bottom, have been hurting. They hurt when I chew on them, and when I drink anything warm.

Any ideas what's wrong with them or how I can stop them hurting? They hurt a little even when I'm just sitting here typing, there seems to be one area where it's a little worse - is it possible that a cavity in one tooth could make pain in all of them?

Yeah, I'm pretty stressed at the minute, and I do clench my teeth during the day, I don't know whether I grind them during the night or not, but I've never had them hurt this much before.

Answer 1

Sometime, acidic foods, vomiting, or aggressive tooth-brushing can trigger this, since they may expose the nerve endings in the dentin tubules. Teeth-whitening products may also cause this, since they usually contain highly-abrasive agents or bleaching agents.

You may want to avoid these triggers and see if the sensitivity resolves. In the meantime, you can use a toothpaste made for sensitive teeth-- these usually contain potassium nitrate to reduce the sensitivity by interrupting neurotransmission of pain.
