Very sensitive teeth....?

For the last few months my teeth have been very sensitive to hot and cold. Recently my teeth have even been hurting when I eat anything sweet and when I brush my teeth. Two days ago I noticed that in one of my teeth near the gums there is a hole starting. What could have caused this... I brush my teeth every day and take good care of my mouth. If I go to the dentist is there something that they can do with the hole so that I dont lose that tooth? Is there something I can do to help the sensitivity of my teeth?

There are many things you can do about sensitive teeth. However I believe that your situation has progressed an you need immediate dental care. A hole could be a cavity or recession of your gums. If the hole is at the gum line or it appears that your gum has a bubble near this can be a sign of an abscessed tooth. Cold sensitivity can be normal, sensitivity to hot is not. Tooth Decay could also be a possibility.


Tips for sensitive teeth:


+Use Sensodyne toothpaste


-this toothpaste has a high fluoride concentration and will greatly reduce sensitivity





+Your dentist can give you a product called Flor-Opal which can be worn in trays this also can help with sensitivity.





+Remember to floss this is just as important as brushing.





+Have your teeth professionally cleaned twice a year.





I recommend that you go see a dentist for a consult. It is better to catch a problem sooner rather than later.
Reply:Some people's teeth are just very sensitive, it's as simple as that. You may want to cut back on the sweets and pop, because it sounds to me like you have thin enamal. Your dentist will be able to fix the tooth so long as the decay hasn't gotten all the way to the root yet. There is also toothpaste for sensitive people, crest makes one, and sensodyne is the other one, both can be found at your local drug store.
Reply:Try using sensitive teeth toothpaste - like Sensodyne.
