My tooth is sensetive to cold, it mildly hurts once or twice a week. nothing is wrong with the tooth??
Question: its the one all the way in the back, i'm thinking because i had wisdom teeth pulled out a while ago and now they are starting to grow in, could that be the source of all this? please help.
Answers: Have you been to the dentist to be sure there is no cavity or small hole there. That could be a cause. Most people's wisdom teeth do not grow back in after they are pulled. You should visit the dentist. Until then, try using sensodyne toothpaste and not chewing on that side.
Once your wisdom teeth are pulled, they can't and don't grow back. If that tooth you say is sensitive and doesn't have a cavity then it's just sensitive to cold and probably to hot as well. Start using a sensitive teeth toothpaste like Sensodyne. The reason teeth are sensitive is that they have tiny microscopic holes in them that makes them sensitive to any extreme temperatures. I think if you start using that toothpaste it will help.
its just siensitive, use sensitive toothpaste
It sounds like dentine sensitivity. Its possible that its coming from the tooth in front of where your wisdom tooth was. When your wisdom tooth was extracted the gum will have shrunk slightly away from the tooth to cover the socket. This is normal and just part of the healing process. Its possible that in doing this, it has exposed a small part of the root surface. As the root surface isnt covered in enamel, it reacts to hot and cold quicker.
The best thing to do is to use some sensitive toothpaste (eg Sensodyne or Colgate sensitive), avoid anything acidic (fruit juice/fizzy drinks etc) and keep the fluroide levels high in your mouth. Use a fluroide mouthwash a couple of times a day, at a different time to brushing. For example brush morning and night and rinse lunchtime and evening. Obviously see your dentist if the symptoms worsen or dont improve after a couple of weeks. Hope this helps!
