  1. WHAT TO DO IF YOU HAVE Sensitivity to Cold Food and Drinks

  2. Do you pass on ice cream, cold soda, or maybe everyday cold food because it triggers unbearable sharp pain in your teeth?

  3. Your teeth become sensitive when the enamel erodes and when your gums recede.

  4. The nerve endings in your teeth get exposed & when it comes in contact with cold food, you feel pain.

  5. The possible causes of sensitivity to cold food and drinks include:

  6. Tooth decay (cavities): Tooth decay causes dental holes that can expose the nerves.

  7. Cracked tooth: A cracked tooth can expose nerves in your tooth, causing sensitivity to cold.

  8. Gum disease: Gum diseases can cause tooth sensitivity.

  9. Worn tooth enamel: The enamel can get eroded from acidic and sugary diets exposing nerves.

  10. Gum recession: Gum recession can lead to the exposure of the sensitive dentin layer causing cold sensitivity.

  11. How to Manage Tooth Sensitivity to Cold

  12. Good oral hygiene can reverse some cases of sensitivity and other oral/dental diseases.

  13. Visiting a dental professional for regular checkups will help you track any developing conditions.

  14. Other practices that can help manage cold-sensitivity include: Drinking using straw Brushing using warm water Using toothpaste for sensitive teeth Breathing through your nose

  15. Get professional Dental Treatment

  16. As per American Association of Endodontists (AAE) you should visit a professional if your pain lingers for more than 30 seconds.

  17. Your sensitivity could be due to several reasons & may signal other dental problems that could be developing.

  18. Depending on what causes your cold sensitivity, your dentist may suggest the following treatments:

  19. A crown placement, inlay, or bonding: You might have to go through one of these if you have fractured or decaying tooth.

  20. Fluoride gel treatment: Fluoride gel strengthens the tooth enamel & reduces pain signals transmitted to your brain.

  21. Root canal procedure: Your dentist may recommend a root canal procedure if your sensitivity is severe.

  22. Surgical gum graft: This is done if you have lost gum tissue.
