Why Do My Teeth Hurt When I Drink Something Cold?
If you have ever sipped an ice-cold drink or enjoyed kulfi, falooda, or even a chilled cola in the summer and suddenly felt a sharp pain in your teeth, you are not alone. Tooth sensitivity (also called dental hypersensitivity) is one of the most common dental problems in Pakistan and the UK, especially among people who consume tea, cold beverages, or have gum problems. At Smooth Smile Dental Studio, we see this complaint daily and help patients find long-lasting relief.
Main Causes of Sensitive Teeth
- Worn-Out Enamel – Hard brushing, whitening powders, or acidic drinks erode enamel.
- Gum Recession – Often due to gum disease or aging, exposing the root surface.
- Cavities (Dental Caries) – Untreated tooth decay makes teeth sensitive to hot, cold, and sweet items.
- Teeth Grinding (Bruxism) – Stress, common in Pakistan and the UK, can cause enamel wear.
- Recent Dental Work – Whitening, fillings, or braces adjustments can sometimes cause temporary sensitivity.
Why It’s Common in Pakistan and the UK
- In Pakistan, high tea consumption, spicy food, and carbonated drinks play a major role.
- Among overseas Pakistanis in the UK, cold weather, fizzy drinks, and lifestyle habits worsen sensitivity.
- Many patients delay dental visits, allowing small issues to grow into bigger problems.
Remedies and Treatments for Tooth Sensitivity
✅ Desensitizing Toothpaste – Helps block pain signals from the nerve.
✅ Fluoride Treatment – Strengthens enamel and protects against decay.
✅ Gentle Brushing Habits – Soft-bristled brush + correct technique.
✅ Limit Acidic & Sugary Drinks – Cut down on soda, energy drinks, and excessive tea/coffee.
✅ Professional Treatment – Cavities, gum disease, or worn fillings must be fixed by a dentist.
