my teeth get sensitive whenever i eat certain fruit, what do i do?

Question

when i eat fruit like plums, slightly raw pineapple etc.. teeth get sensitive.

Any natural home made cures for sensitive teeth, if something is wrong with mine?

Thanks.

Answer 1

The sugars and acids in fruit attack the lining of teeth.Sugar consumption leads to a general decline in the health of the enamel,exposing nerve endings.Normal mouth chemistry will reverse the damage.The catch is, you have to eliminate sugar from your diet to restore normal mouth chemistry.Sensodyne deadens the nerves which are telling you that you are damaging your teeth,it does not reverse the damage.

Answer 2

Your just eating fruits with a high acidity level, and etching your teeth out in the process. The acid just opens the tubules of the tooth up, making stimuli transmit to the pulp faster. We always advise patients to reduce or skip a day of consumption of these fruits and juices. And to help with the sensitivity use Sensodyne Toothpaste. It usually takes a couple of weeks for the toothpaste to work on reducing the sensitivity, but it does work. If you don't see results after a couple of days of using the toothpaste and discontinuing the fruit, you should call your dentist for an exam, and placement of desensitizer to help the teeth settle down. Also try some Advil or Motrin for now. Good luck, and watch out for that tasty fruit!

Answer 3

This seems like more of a dental issue rather than something related to what you eat. Talk to a dentist about your sensitive teeth if it gets worse.

Answer 4

Some friuts are quite acidic such as oranges which can damage the enamel on your teeth and make them sensitive if you eat a lot of them the same goes for orange juice, diet coke and things like that.
