Hi. As of the last few weeks, I ve been having a problem with my teeth becoming very cold sensitive. This is becoming worse everyday. At first it was just the teeth. Now I have electrical sensations in my teeth and my gums - left and right, upper and lower. ALL my teeth are effected. I have not noticed any kind of changes with my teeth or my gums at all before or during this whole time frame. I can push on my teeth, push on my gums, or bite down hard - and no pain. So it does not appear to be a dental problem. It seems to me the nerves in my gums leading to my teeth have suddenly become over active. What could have caused this? By the way I am a 47-year-old white male.
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, Sensitivity of teeth may be due to-Regressive changes like attrition, abrasion or erosion of teeth. Periapical infection of teeth. Exposed tooth portion has to be restored with tooth-coloured filling material. Use soft-bristled toothbrush and clean your teeth in back-forth, up-down motion. Avoid intake of carbonated Chat Doctor. Avoid tooth grinding habits. Hope this helps.
