Why do my teeth hurt when I eat sweet things?!


Question: Why do my teeth hurt when I eat sweet things?
Like, sometimes, when I bite into something sweet, I'll get an awful pain in my teeth! I was just eating Welch's fruit snacks and I had to stop because my teeth were hurting. It's so annoying! I take care of my teeth, I swear. I brush them every single day, twice a day, and I use whitening mouthwash and hydrogen peroxide. My teeth are very white and healthy. I've told my mom, and she keeps saying "Oh, yeah, well it's expensive to go to the dentist and with everything else I'm paying for right now, I don't have the money to take you to the dentist!" But I reallyyy think I need to go. I'm scared that I might have cavities. D: Do I? What are they going to do to me if I go to the dentist?

It sounds like your enamel is pretty worn down. Eating sweets or drinking acidic drinks will cause your enamel to thin, causing your teeth to become very sensitive to sweets, and/or hot/cold things. Even brushing too too hard or using an abrasive toothpaste can cause this. I suggest you convince your mom to take you to the dentist for further advice/treatment.

Okay, well using hydrogen peroxide on your teeth more than once a week is very damaging to your enamel. That's probably why they hurt. So I suggest you stop using peroxide on your teeth...
It's also very possible it's a cavity. Your mother is not being very responsible if she won't take you to the dentist. What if you have a cavity? It could get to the point of you needing a root canal, and if that doesn't happen, the infection could spread to your bloodstream and eventually kill you.
Go to a dentist as soon as possible.



I would definitely go to the dentist, you may have a cavity or you possibly have a sensitive tooth. If u go the dentist will find out what's wrong, if it's indeed have a cavity all he will do is get rid it( don't worry it doesn't hurt) if it's sensitive he will prescribe some tooth paste or ointment for it....if you can't go to the dentist then try the sensitive teeth tooth paste and see what happens



You may very likey have cavities. You cant see them because their probably just starting to decay. If your mom cant take you to the dentist, get another family member to. If you dont live with any other family members, then convinve your mom to take you. If she doesnt, tell your school counselor. Theres no reason for you to be in pain like this. Teeth are very important. And once its too late, you have to take them out.



MY TOOTHACHE PAIN HAS NEVER RETURNED.
So, may I ask you, what have you done in an attempt to ease your toothache pain? No doubt you’ve tried most of the same things I did. You may even be considering addictive painkillers to numb your toothache pain. If all you 've done had not worked, then don,t give up yet until you try a more natural way to cure those pains.

yea you do have cavities
another sign is getting aluminum foil and touching the hurting tooth with it and instant sign


id suggest your mom be responsible and take you to a dentist before it get worse and youll have to get a root canal, were the infection gets so bad they take the top of the affected tooth and put on sa new fake tooth that looks bad, if this happens, your mom will have to pay triple the money for the surgery



happened to me, luckily i have insurance that covered the cost

the pain i had to go through



It could be a cavity because I have just had a filing done and this is what I experienced sometimes when eating sweet things, i also look after my teeth. A filling is not that bad - really. They numb your tooth so you have no pain just a weird feeling tingly feeling, and you can't feel that side of your mouth. It's true that dental care cost a lot, so maybe if it is really playing you up speak to your mum about this again. I think I am in a different country to you, because of what you said about the cost, although we still pay for it, it's only if you're over a certain age.
