My teeth are getting sensitive to really warm or really cold things?

and they werent like that before. its been like this for a month or two. two things have happened that could be the reason: i got braces three months ago and have been bulimic for two years. can braces make ur teeth sensitive to hot or cold things or is it most likely the acid from vomit finally taking a toll on my teeth?

Braces would have nothing to do with it. It's the long term affect from the vomit. A good toothpaste to use to help with this is Crest Sensitivity and also there is a sensitive teeth mouthwash that you can use that will help It's not by crest but I can't remember the name I'm sure any would help.
Reply:yes yes and yes the bullimia will eventally kill you
Reply:most likely from the acid becuase it can also burn ur esophagus which sumtimes causes cancer and the acid starts making ur teeth look really bad
Reply:get some sensodine tooth paste from ur supermarker or chemist, its really helpful for just what you are experiencing.


good luck! x
Reply:maybe the braces. as theyre pulling ur teeth, moving em, they of course get more sensitive. bulimic... u had for 2 years and started feeling that now... maybe the vomits but i really think its about the braces. just calm down, braces do that, sometimes a lil blood comes out but thats nothing to worry about. use a tooth paste that helps that. consult ur dentist. good luck :)
Reply:Most likely from vomit. My dentist told me to brush my teeth on a diagonal by the gumlines otherwise they will become sensitive to coldness.. something like that. brush diagonally!
Reply:No worries, mine are like that too and I've never had braces, I never had an eating disorder, and I also don't vomit alot.


It's just the nerves in your teeth.


Unless you have some weird tooth disease... other than, y'know, cavaties. O:
Reply:it may be the acid form your throw up that makes the braces make you sensitive to the warm and cold things lay up about the trow up stuff
Reply:Your stomach acids are eating away at your enamel. The damage is permanent and it will get worse if you don't get help with your bulimia. Left untreated, you are going to have tooth after tooth abscess on you.





See your dentist and have her fix the damage you have already done before it gets worse.





See your doctor immediately to discuss your bulimia because its effects are DEVASTATING!!!





Use Sensodyne toothpaste.





Brush and floss after vomiting. If you can't, then rinse out well.





Start using a calcifying rinse EVERY DAY.





I am outraged that a dentist or orthodontist would put braces on you if you are bulimic. Why did you not discuss this with them or write it on your medical history!!





Have your braces REMOVED until you are no longer vomiting.
Reply:Don't use whitening toothpaste or baking soda, as they can scratch the enamel off your teeth, thereby making them more sensitive. However, in your case, I think it's probably a bit of both... the braces and the puking. Stop puking! It's seriously screwed up! It's like cutting yourself, in that it's freakish behavior; however, it's actually a vanity and self-image problem which you need to address.
Reply:yes i have that sometimes but it seems to go away. if it doesn't u can always go to ur local dentist and he/her can check it out
