Why Does My Tooth Hurt When I Eat Something Cold?

Have you ever taken a bite of ice cream and felt a sharp pain in your tooth? That’s called tooth sensitivity—and it’s more common than you think!

What Causes Tooth Sensitivity?
When the hard outer layer of your tooth (called enamel) wears down, cold, hot, or sweet foods can reach the soft inside part of your tooth. This makes your teeth hurt.

Here are a few reasons this happens:
- Brushing too hard
- Tooth decay (cavities)
- Cracked teeth
- Gum recession

Can I Fix It at Home?
Yes! Try these tips:
- Use a toothpaste made for sensitive teeth
- Brush gently with a soft toothbrush
- Avoid very cold or hot drinks for a while

When Should I See the Dentist?
If your pain lasts more than a few days or is getting worse, it’s time to visit us. You might have a cavity or another issue that needs fixing.

At Serene Family Dental, we’ll check what’s going on and help your teeth feel better.
