This phenomena is actually quite common since most people have experienced some form of enamel erosion. But it\u2019s important to keep in mind that the things you consume aren\u2019t the only form of external stimuli that can cause this discomfort. For example, cold weather can also be a culprit.<\/p>\n<p>To understand why this occurs and what a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.texastoothlady.com\/preventive-dentistry.html\">cosmetic dentist in Uptown Houston<\/a> recommends you do to alleviate it, keep reading!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-89\" src=\"https:\/\/www.texastoothlady.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/AdobeStock_141837837__1514573150_99103-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"A man with mouth pain.\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.texastoothlady.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/AdobeStock_141837837__1514573150_99103-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.texastoothlady.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/AdobeStock_141837837__1514573150_99103-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.texastoothlady.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/AdobeStock_141837837__1514573150_99103.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>How Does Cold Weather Affect My Teeth?<\/h2>\n<p>Not only can extreme cold weather affect your teeth, but extreme heat as well. This is because, much like the foods you eat, hot and cold weather cause teeth to expand and contract. This can cause your teeth to crack, which exposes the tubules inside the dentin layer directly underneath your enamel. If you\u2019ve ever felt pain as a result of cavities or gum disease, then you already know what this sensation feels like. The only time you\u2019ll begin to feel discomfort is when the dentin layer becomes exposed. This is because dentin contains many nerve fibers, unlike tooth enamel.<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind that the weather can cause sensitivity for just about anyone, but your risk goes up if you don\u2019t practice proper oral hygiene. Furthermore, there are other causes to consider.<\/p>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-90\" src=\"https:\/\/www.texastoothlady.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/AdobeStock_45751832__1514386032_79617-300x201.jpg\" alt=\"A mouth with mild gum disease.\" width=\"300\" height=\"201\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.texastoothlady.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/AdobeStock_45751832__1514386032_79617-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.texastoothlady.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/AdobeStock_45751832__1514386032_79617-768x514.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.texastoothlady.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/AdobeStock_45751832__1514386032_79617.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>What Could Have Caused My Sensitivity?<\/h2>\n<p>There are many causes for dental sensitivity.

Fortunately, dentists offer multiple treatments specifically designed to reduce pain and sensitivity, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Fluoride application <\/strong>\u2013 This works to add fluoride minerals to teeth which strengthens enamel and prevents sensitivity.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dental sealants<\/strong> \u2013 This composite resin application seals cracks in teeth and prevents future exposure to the dentin layer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Nightguards <\/strong>\u2013 If you clench or grind your teeth while you sleep, a custom-made nightguard can be made to fit your smile exactly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Root canal treatment<\/strong> \u2013 As a last resort, you may need a root canal to remove soft pulp inside your damaged tooth. If you have deep decay or a cracked\/chipped tooth, this may be the only viable option.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you\u2019re experiencing tooth sensitivity or pain on a regular basis, it\u2019s time to visit a dentist for treatment. They\u2019re trained to provide solutions proven to help those suffering from oral discomfort, so schedule your next visit today!<\/p>\n<h2>About the Author<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.texastoothlady.com\/meet-dr-alani.html\">Dr. Terri Alani<\/a> always makes patient care her number one priority.
