Do Your Teeth Hurt When You Consume Hot or Cold Foods or Beverages?

At our family dental practice in Bloomer, we help people with a variety of complaints. A rather common issue is a tooth that has become overly sensitive to temperature. If you are experiencing this, it can be very frustrating indeed. Your tooth may ache when you drink something that is either very hot or very cold. The good news is that this doesn’t always mean you have a serious problem, and it can often be addressed rather easily. The bad news is that it could be indicative of something more serious, and you do need to come see us right away so we can check it out to be sure.

A Bloomer Dentist on the Topic of Sensitive Teeth
We want you to understand what could be behind your pain. On the one hand, it could be something as simple as a deficiency in your enamel, or the result of receding gum tissue. Both of these conditions are often (although sadly not always) easily addressed.
However, a sensitive tooth could be that way because it has been fractured, cracked, or suffers from decay. These issues take a little bit more work to fix. What’s more, if you ignore them, the result can be serious damage to the tooth—or even a complete loss of the tooth!
