Why I have tooth pain after eating grapes?

Question

My teeth get so sensitive so especially at roots so I cannot stand brushing them.

I've seen my dentist couple of weeks ago, have no cavities, and everything is good with my root canals. It is all about grapes! I hate this feeling when I cannot brush my teeth because of pain but it lasts 2-3 days and then it goes away. After 3 days I feel no pain and everything is alright.

Answer 1

ooo...have fun with the root canal you're going to need

Answer 2

To answer your questions: 1) Your tooth--or teeth--could be sensitive to cold objects. Or certain particular teeth could be sensitive. (This would be instead of a cavity.) Or, perhaps the grape was just particularly cold for your tooth/teeth to handle. If this keeps happening, it might be worth using a toothpaste with the brand name "Sensodyne" to see if this helps with the issue. 2) Yes, you could have a cavity--or cavities. You could even have a cavity, or many cavities, without feeling any pain or sensitivity--especially if the decay has not hit a nerve (with is often the case). Yes, actual drilling and filling the cavity is painful--nerve pain that is. You would need to schedule an appointment with a dentist for x-rays/teeth cleaning. The x-rays would reveal any cavities. Fortunately, the dentist can inject shots of lidocaine into the gum areas to numb the pain. If the drilling still hurts, you can ask for more, and more lidocaine. Of course, the lidocaine shots themselves hurt--a "smarting" pain that quickly goes away--but they are worth it! Also, the dentist can even apply a "numbing gel" on the area before s/he injects the shot(s) of the lidocaine. (that is, apply numbing get to the areas to be "INJECTED WITH the lidocaine". I know you mentioned that you are afraid of shots. Perhaps--if you do, in fact, have cavities, if "sealants" would be an options for you. (no pain!) Additionally, you could take some over-the-counter pain-reliever (a maximum-allowable dosage of naproxen or aspirin or ibuprofen) about 45 minutes before the drilling/fillings---do NOT take any prescription narcotic such as codeine or Vicodin--as this would INTERFERE with the lidocaine!). Additionally, perhaps you could have your family doctor prescribe you a sedative such as Valium or Xanax, which you could fill at the pharmacy to have you relax. As a last resort, you could find a dentist that does "sedation dentistry"---look up in the "yellow pages" in the phone book--or Internet; and discuss your options. However, this would probably be the most expensive option that would not be covered by insurance, and you might need a friend/relative to drive you too and from the dentist--but sometimes this is necessary. The options include--among other procedures---short-acting hypnotics (sleeping pills), nitrous oxide (with monitoring), and prescription anxiety pills, and even anaesthia to make your visit pleasurable and even not-so-memorable as far as the "unpleasant" procedures go!
