What causes a tooth to be sensitive to heat and cold??


Answers: I had that to, you should go see your dentist it could be a cracked tooth. Does it also hurt when you chew on it to? The dentist will take a x-ray to see if it is cracked. I had to get a crown on mine.
decay. sensitivity to just cold is one thing but once it's hot and cold you have a problem. go to the dentist before it turns into a real problem.
gum diseases like gingivitis and peridontal disease you need to see a dentist before it gets worse
You might have a cavity. Or you just might have a big filling. Some teeth that have big fillings might be sensitive for a month or two after being done. If you haven't been to a dentist in a while I advice you to go. You don't wanna wait, becasue then you might have a root canal and it is expensive.The sooner you go the better!
you've got a serious cavity. go see a dentist.
It can be caused by sinus pressure. Swollen sinus' pressing against the nerve of the tooth effected.
it may be a receding gum or a cavity, if it is simply sensitivity. however, if you feel pain associated with thermal stimulation, especially heat, you might have damage to the pulp tissue (nerve) of the tooth. you should ckeck with your dentist
you have a cavity and need to see a dentist
no one really knows
nerves....:)
I have that problem. The enamel on your teeth has thinned out a little. Sometimes I brush with sensidyne toothpaste and the annoyence is gone for awhile.
your teeth are falling apart, go quick and see a doctor.
1) tooth brush abrasion
2) nerve damage
3) gum disease
4) trauma
It might not be that serious, but I'd go see a dentist just in case.

It could be many things... your enamel might be a little bit weak, it might be a cavity, you might have inflamed gums, or it could be... *drums rolls* a mental thing. My nerves get really sensitive when I think they hurt . I was convinced my teeth were getting weaker until I went to the dentist and he verified that it was because I kept thinking about it too much. After him telling me that, they don't hurt all that bad anymore.

Go to the dentist, start flossing, and use Sensidyne if it's really that bad. Goodluck. :)
