Question

why does this happen and is there a cure

what if i do not want to avoid frozen food.

i know it is not a damaged nerve

see, i talked to my friends dad, who is a dentist, he says he knows it is not a damaged nerve, but he did not have enough time to get me to his office to get it checked out. ill try the toothpaste though

Answer 1

There could be a few reasons for this. The worst scenario is the pulp of that tooth has become diseased and inflamed which will require a root canal to correct. You could also have caries (a cavity) that has exposed the dentin underneath the enamel which would cause discomfort. This would require a filling. Another scenario is if you've had a recent filling on that tooth, which would conduct cold differently than your natural tooth could lead to sensitivity. And finally, if your gums have receded, the root of your tooth could be exposed which could lead to sensitivity. The last two could be improved by using a toothpaste such as Sensodyne. Bottom line, is you need to see a dentist so he/she can make the diagnosis.

Answer 2

If it is painful for most/all of your teeth you more than likely just have sensitive teeth or your gums are receding causing the nerves to be closer to the surface.
For these things you could try Synsodyne Toothpaste or the like.

If the pain is more localized you should seek the help of a good Dentist as this may be an indicator of a more serious condition such as a cavity that, if caught in time, could simply be filled or have a root canal. Seek help soon or you could end up with a really bad infection, loose your tooth or both.

GOOD LUCK!!

Answer 3

I would recommend to you to rinse daily at night time, with ACT fluoride rinse. Fluoride is a vitamin for your teeth, and can act as a desensitize while also has a restorative factor that can repair the beginnings of cavities. This fluoride rinse used regularly will help your teeth become less sensitive, also use what your friends dentist recommended, the sensitivity toothpaste also helps, and the two together, after about 2-3 weeks you should really see an improvement!!
Good Luck

Answer 4

When someone comes to me and complains of new sensitivity, the first thing I ask is what kind of toothpaste they are using. 9 times out of 10, they say that they recently started to use a whitening toothpaste. They are well-known for that.

Crest and Colgate both make sensitivity toothpastes that taste better than Sensodyne. If you use a sensitivity formula toothpaste, do not use ANY other kind of toothpaste for at least 3 or 4 weeks. It has a cumulative effect and switching toothpastes back and forth will be like taking two steps forward and one step backward.

Answer 5

Your teeth are very sensitvity,so are mind.So i end up useing SENSODYNE tooth paste.If this dont work,sorry you will have to see oh

Answer 6

that happens to me a lot too. you can get a special toothpaste to ease the pain. i would first ask your dentist to find out what they think it is. it could be something more the sensitive teeth and they might be able to recommend a treatment.

Answer 7

you need to get to a dentist. It sounds like you have a damaged nerve in a tooth and need a root canal.

Answer 8

Maybe you have sensitive teeth. The cure is to avoid frozen stuff.

Answer 9

That's due to sensitive teeth. SENSODYNE usualy works. It's great,worked for me!

Answer 10
