Dreaming of the good old days when enjoying your favorite sundae, did not involve any discomfort, let alone pain?
If eating ice cream or drinking a cold beverage hurts your teeth, you most likely have decay or a gum problem. So how do your teeth become cold-sensitive? When the nerves present in the teeth are exposed to receding gums or damaged dental enamel, the teeth become cold-sensitive.
What Makes your Teeth Sensitive to Cold Temperatures?
Cold-sensitive teeth can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
These problems might sometimes get so severe that you need professional help. A dental expert would prescribe a sensitive toothpaste that de-sensitizes your nerves while also containing fluoride to prevent tooth decay. If the situation is more significant, a tooth sensitivity treatment that involves applying a sealant to your tooth to help protect it and relieve the pain associated with dental sensitivity would be required.
