FAQ: Sensitive Teeth - Part B

Video: Discus Dental Tooth Enamel Remineralization

Traveling Tooth Pain / Sensitivity: For the last three weeks, I have experienced pain from the all of my teeth on the upper left side. The pain is worst in the second and third teeth from the back, but it seems to spread out from there to all the surrounding teeth. The pain is triggered mostly from sensitivity to cold and hot foods and drinks, but sometimes the pain comes on by itself with no food to stimulate it. I went to my dentist, who took a panoramic x-ray and didn't see any problems with the teeth or gums. He gave me a nightguard, saying the pain could be due to teeth grinding but it hasn't helped. I get headaches and pain behind my eyes regularly. Pushing on the painful areas temporarily relieves the pain. ...Visitor from CA (answer)
Sensitive Teeth - Weak Tooth Enamel? My wife is having sensitive teeth, as she complains of toothache as soon as she eats something sweet or cold. As per local dentists they say that its due to weak enamel layer and she just has to get the filling done in the open spaces between the teeth and the gums. Is there any way to get the enamel layer back on the teeth? She just can't eat anything sweet or cold. Is there any solution or paste which she can apply on her teeth and get her teeth enamel back? ...Visitor from India (answer)
Sensitivity in my Teeth: I had sensitivity in my upper and lower back teeth since past 1 month. My dentist suggested that I go for composite filling as I had abraded teeth near the gum line. After getting the procedure done there was no change in the sensitivity. Later my dentist suggested a full mouth x-ray saying that there might be underlying periodontal disease, which was true to some extent as after seeing the x-ray. He said that there is moderate bone loss and we go in for curettage and still if the problem does not subside I may have to go in for PDL surgery. I want to know if what he is suggesting is right and will my sensitivity reduce after this procedure? I was on hormonal medicatiion for 1 yr. ...Visitor from India (answer)
Non-Specific Tooth Pain: A few weeks ago, I caught myself bruxing in my sleep. The next day, when drinking coffee, I experienced sharp sensitivity to heat in my lower right teeth. I went to the dentist the next day to have my teeth checked out. So far I have seen five different dentists, including endodontists about the problem. Each examined, took x-rays, tested each tooth, checked for cracks, etc. They could not find the problem in my teeth, even though they understand that I have pain from that area along with lymph node swelling. I was given muscle relaxants and a mouthguard. I was told by the endodontists that they do not recommend performing endo therapy and that I should see a neurologist. What should I do? ...Visitor from OH (answer)
Filling causes sensitivity and pain: I had a composite filling done recently (to replace an old amalgam that had moderate decay). Afterward, my molar was very sensitive to pressure (not heat or cold) and my dentist reshaped the composite as he guessed it was "high." A few days later it is still sensitive to chewing pressure, and now to touch. I experience that small zing or shock when I brush the tooth and when I scrape or poke at it with my fingernail. Does it just need more time to heal, more reshaping, or is something else wrong? ...Visitor from NY (answer)
Sensitivity and veneers: Will the application of veneers such as Lumineer help prevent sensivity in teeth? ...Visitor from NE (answer)
