How do you deal with sensitive teeth?

Question

I have had braces for about 4 months and haven't really had any problems until now. I used to have an eye tooth (not sure of the technical name, sorry.) the was crooked and sort of jutted forward and slightly to to the right in front of my front tooth. Since I've had the braces, this has come down and straightened out, but I've noticed that the space between these two teeth has become EXTREMELY sensitive to cold and heat over the last week and a half. Any time I drink or eat anything cold or hot, I get this pain that just shoots through my mouth until it decides to calm down.

Does anyone know how to make this stop? From what I can tell, it's not a cavity, as it hasn't shown up on my dental x-rays. The entire tooth is sensitive due to shifting, and best I can figure is that the tooth has had a spot exposed that's not used to being exposed and is very sensitive, but how do I make it stop?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Answer 1

That is common. Just the braces alone is painful, especially since it has been moving the gum may have even receded a little. Try the new crest pro-health toothpaste. Its great for sensitivity and unlike the other toothpaste for sensitive teeth, your teeth actually feel clean. Dont forget to floss!

Answer 2

I agree with trista. Try a toothpaste for dental sensitivity like Crest Pro-Health. It is for sensitive teeth and also fights against plaque, tarter and bad breath like all other toothpastes.

Just a note though, if you do use Crest Pro-heath, if you get these stringy things in your mouth after brushing, it is normal. I get them too and they are annoying. Husband gets them too. Have no idea what they are.
