Sensitive teeth
A sharp twinge with cold, hot or sweet things often means the inner layer of the tooth is exposed. It can also be a sign of decay.
What it might mean
A sharp twinge with cold, hot or sweet things often means the inner layer of the tooth is exposed. It can also be a sign of decay. It can be related to worn enamel, gum recession or decay.
What you can do now
Use a toothpaste for sensitive teeth, brush gently with a soft brush, and avoid very acidic drinks.
When to see us urgently
Book a visit if one tooth is sensitive for more than a few days, or the pain lingers after the cold has gone.
