Winter Tooth Sensitivity? 🤨
Why your teeth hurt more in cold weather 🧐
When the temperature drops, many people suddenly feel a sharp sting in their teeth.
Cold air causes your teeth to contract, and if you already have microcracks, enamel wear or gum recession, the discomfort feels even worse.
Here’s what to watch out for this season:
• Sensitivity after stepping outside into cold air
• Pain when sipping hot coffee or cold drinks
• Discomfort while brushing
• Sharp twinges when breathing through your mouth
The good news is that winter sensitivity is manageable.
Simple steps help protect your smile:
• Cover your mouth with a scarf to block icy winds
• Choose room-temperature drinks
• Use fluoride toothpaste and a soft toothbrush
• Stay consistent with your dental checkups
For long-term protection, your dentist may recommend desensitizing toothpaste, fluoride varnish or sealants to strengthen weakened areas.
Early treatment prevents bigger issues later.
