Cold Can Increase Dental Sensitivity

When the weather begins to turn, some patients will invariably notice that they are feeling their teeth more. Breathing in crisp winter air might not give you the brisk sensation that you were expecting. Instead, you may feel pain or discomfort. This might not just be in your head; some instances of dental issues can lead to this feeling!

Much of this sensation comes from the breaking down of our enamel. This is the incredibly firm outer surface of our teeth that gives us the functionality and protection that we expect. Tooth decay is one of the primary ways that this can become damaged, where acidic bacterial waste can fully eat through this protective surface. Bruxism, or the term for grinding and clenching, can wear this down through a process similar to erosion. Periodontal disease, or the infection of the gum tissue, can also lead to this situation. Whatever the cause, sensitivity is not something that you should ignore, as it can be caused by things that can lead to progressively worse outcomes.
