- Acute HyperSensitive Teeth: I suffer with acute hypersensitivity in most teeth. I use
Gel-kam and Macleans remineraling toothpaste and wear mouthguards to stop grinding. I have had desensitising agents put on my teeth making little to no difference. I have been suffering from this for over two years and I am frustrated by my dentist's lack of solutions saying that a root canal is too drastic as it would mean taking the nerves out of most of my teeth. ...Visitor from Worecester England UK (answer)
- Crowns causing Sensitive Teeth? I have two porcelain crowns and I need yet another. The latest crown which I have had for 2 years is still very sensitive to cold and heat. It hurts sometimes to chew even gum on it. The oldest crown doesn't bother me as much, but does ache after I eat something that chills my entire mouth, like ice cream. My fear is that my entire mouth will hurt if I let him do yet another crown. When I ask him why they hurt, he says he doesn't know why!? Do you think they were done incorrectly, or is this a normal reaction for a tooth with a crown? ...Visitor from MI (answer)
- Heat sensitivity after root-canaled tooth: About 6 months ago I had a root canal performed in my #19 molar. Upon opening the tooth the endodontist found 4 root chambers instead of three. I have had severe pain ever since the surgery. When I drink hot beverages or eat hot food, sometimes even breathing in cold air will send some pain in that direction. The endodontist and dentist I went to are acting like it's impossible to have this pain and they keep telling me it must be a different tooth. What are the next steps? Should the crown be removed and perhap another surgery be preformed? I am sick of them telling me that it's impossible or that it's all in my head! ...Visitor from IL (answer)

- Extreme sensitivity following veneers: I had 20 veneers placed due to a severe tetracycline stain. The procedure altered my smile, although the overall cosmetic effect was pretty decent. However, eight months following placement, I am still experiencing extreme sensitivity to hot and cold, (I cannot swish tap water in my mouth when I brush). In places around my gum line, there are thin margins where my own tooth is exposed. Also, I cannot comfortably bite anything crunchy, (nuts, chips, the corn meal on the bottom of pizza, bacon, etc.) without pain. I am using Sensodyne and a special dental fluoride solution with no luck. What to do? ...Visitor from FL (answer)

- Sensitive Tooth: About a year ago I had to get a filling for a "deep" cavity. It was done successfully. Since then that tooth is super sensitive. I have been to the dentist 2 times (other than a regular check up) for the tooth and they keep telling me there is nothing to do about it because the root is fine and has been fine and that they see nothing wrong with the area. They just tell me its sensitive. It seems to be affecting my entire side of the mouth. I can't chew, brush or drink near that tooth. Isn't there anything to do about it? ...Visitor from WI (answer)
- 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.

- 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)
