My two front teeth on the bottom half of my mouth have been sensitive for about 3 days?

I've noticed that my bottom two teeth have had this tickling sensation which is annoying. Nothing hurts or anything, but I can't pinpoint an exact location from where the sensitivity is stemming from. I don't think the cold winter air helps either, because the tickling increases a bit. I just hope this isn't something major, I practice good oral hygeine, but I still have yet to try toothpaste for sensitive teeth. Does anyone know what may have caused this, it came out of nowhere. Thanks!

It's not unusual for teeth to be sensitive to cold, esp. if there is some gum recession. Not a bad idea to try a desensitizing toothpaste. If it's not improving in 2-3 weeks, see your dentist.

Reply:Have you bleached your teeth or anything lately? Sometimes this will make your teeth sensitive.
Reply:If you eat a lot of sweets. Also, bleaching your teeth can make them quite sensitive even to hard scrapy things like crackers.
Reply:it could be a sign of gingivitis-sensitivity of gums, or a big lack of vitamin C. i would suggest to eat some sour fruits and to try and diminish the quantity of meat you eat that could also give this feeling. it happens to me especially in winter and spring. also if you eat high-processed food your teeth become more sensitive try to prepare yourself something like a salad or even a soup and if you are a fan of fast-foods drop it for some days. But i suppose fruits will help a lot in this.


;) get well soon!
Reply:Also you could benifit from using extra fluoride, in addition to your toothpaste. Fluoride mouthrince or tablets are good alternatives. Fluoride makes the surface of the tooth "stronger" so that the pulp in the tooth won't be that easily affected by tmp.

Reply:There are really cases of periodontitis. It is the disease of the surrounding and supporting structures of the teeth. A lot of people arround the world are suffering from it.





Unknowingly this develops without your knowledge. Since the possibility of bad hygiene has been eliminated. Then it must be hereditary.





See a periodontist. Hope this helps.
