Tooth Sensitivity To Soda

Teeth Sensitivity? Eating sweets?

maybe a little bit of both. Grinding- TMJ and possible cavities in there. The grinding and jaw soreness shouldn't be triggering discomfort when you eat sweets. That sounds more decay related. Not sure on the cavities based on the info you've provided but it definitely sounds like you have grinding and or TMJ issues. You should try sleeping with a night guard. This should help a lot. You can have one custom made in a dental office, but if you're not looking to spend a lot of $$ an over the counter one from wal-mart will very likely do the trick. Best of Luck

Sensitive Teeth - Can Coca-Cola cause tooth sensitivity???

Absolutely. Contrary to popular belief, what causes tooth decay is not SUGAR, but ACIDS. The reason candy "rots" your teeth is because the sugars are converted into acids when then combine with the saliva in your mouth.

Cola is a triple whammy because not only does it contain massive amounts of sugar AND get swished all around your teeth, it also contains PHOSPHORIC ACID which will strip the paint off your car.... or the enamel off your teeth.

If you are going to drink cola, try and wash your mouth with water afterward, or better yet, brush your teeth.

As far as the sensitivity, here is the solution. It's the best stuff on the market, and is made from natural minerals. It also hase numerous clinical studies to support it.

Teeth whitening - sensitive teeth?

If you have really sensitive teeth, don't use at-home whitening. Talk to your dentist before using any over the counter whitening products. Teeth are very porous and sensitive teeth are usually caused by worn down enamel and exposed dentin (the layer right under the enamel). If your sensitive teeth are really bothering you, then you can get a varnish to plug up the exposed pores. Also, don't brush too hard as this can scratch your enamel right off. If you grind at night, you could get a custom-made mouth guard at the dentist or for a less expensive alternative you could just get one at the store.

Can baking soda cause my teeth to get sensitive? is it bad to use too often,and how often is too often?

A little baking soda is okay, just take it in moderation. The amount they put into the whitening toothpastes is not all that much.

Also...if you're talking about using lemon juice for whitening your teeth....STOP! I had a friend who used to drink lemon water all day long to help her increase her daily intake of H2O. Well, after about a year of it she was having terrible tooth pain and upon visiting the dentist found out it was the lemon juice eating away her enamel. On top of that, she had to have extensive dental work to repair the terrible stains the juice left on her front teeth.

Good Luck!

What causes sensitive teeth?

Common causes of tooth sensitivity include:

Over-brushing – brushing your teeth too hard may wear down enamel or irritate the gum line, causing it to recede and expose the tooth’s sensitive roots.
Cracked teeth – a crack or chip in your tooth may expose the underlying dentin or may fill with bacteria from plaque, causing the nerve to inflame.
Teeth grinding – over time, grinding or clenching your teeth can erode enamel and expose dentin.
Gum disease – gum disease leads to tooth decay which breaks down enamel; gum disease can also lead to infection which may attack the tooth’s roots or cause the gum line to recede.
Tooth whitening – using products with peroxide or baking soda can seriously aggravate exposed roots or dentin.
Age – studies have shown that tooth sensitivity occurs most often in people between the ages of 25 and 30.
It is possible to experience tooth sensitivity after routine dental procedures such as the placement of a filling or crown, tooth restoration, or even teeth cleaning. Such sensitivity is temporary; if it does not cease after four to six weeks please consult the Dentist.
