Teeth that feel sore when exposed to cold, sour or sweet is usually because the enamel is thinning, or the gums are receding, exposing the dentin.Oral painkillers only relieve the pain for a while and do not address the cause.At German Dental Clinic, doctors find the right cause and then create a treatment plan for each person.You get a clear explanation before doing it, you don’t have to try the tips yourself on the internet.

Sensitivity is a signal, not a disease

Each when exposed to hot, cold, sour, or sweet occurs when the enamel thins or the gums recede, exposing the dentinal tubules.There are no special treatment pills.Fluoride gel, varnish, and potassium nitrate cream block the dentinal tubules locally more effectively than long-term oral paracetamol.

Crying a tooth suggests decay, cracking, or an open restoration.Pain in the entire jaw suggests enamel erosion, diffuse gum recession, or grinding.Night pain, spontaneous pain is medullary – need to be examined, do not increase the analgesic dose.

When should you see a doctor

Things to do every day at home

Brush your teeth twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush.Floss once per day.Limit drinking soft drinks, carbonated drinks and sour foods between meals.After eating sour food or drinking soda, rinse your mouth with filtered water and wait about 30 to 60 minutes before brushing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I need to take a film?
A: Only an examination is not enough to decide safety – wisdom teeth close to the neural tube, Implant, suspected marrow, bone loss.GDC uses digital film and explains before shooting.

Q: Is it painful?
A: The doctor anesthetizes the gums first, then injects, waits until it’s numb enough before doing it.If you still feel pain, say so immediately so you can get more anesthetic.No one is asking you to bite the bullet.

Q: How long does it take for the pain to go away?
A: It usually takes a few days to 2 weeks after surgery or bleaching.Nocturnal or prolonged pain needs to be re-examined — it may no longer be simple amenorrhea.
