Woke up and teeth hurt?!


Question: Woke up and teeth hurt?
This morning I woke up and my teeth on my left side were extremely sensitive. Just like left side upper and bottom teeth. Like it hurt to drink cold water, but it doesn't hurt to eat something. They are hurting right now and I am not eating or drinking anything. I have a headache from the pain, and I don't understand why all of a sudden they just got so sensitive. I brush my teeth with Crest Vivid Whitening tooth paste everyday, but if the toothpaste is making my teeth hurt, why not both sides? I brush and eat with both

Answers:

It wouldnt be due to your toothpaste if you are experiencing a headache. It does seem as though you are grinding your teeth. When you grind away your enamel and expose dentin - you experience hypersensitivity. You also experience headaches becuase of the clenching over night. CVS or your local pharmacy sells mouthguards made for night-grinders. this should eliminate your pain. Good luck!

I am a dental assistant. It is impossible to diagnose without seeing you& of course a dr can only but anyway... I would suggest you stop using the crest vivid white. The whitenting agent can cause sensitivity. Switch to a sensitive tooth paste. As for why it's only on your left side? You told me it happened to multiple teeth and after you woke up could indicate you grind your teeth at night. You can buy an over the counter night guard, to see if that helps. If it isolates to one tooth or becomes worse or just doesn't get better-go to your dentist. As always regular check ups are ideal.

It's possible that you were grinding your teeth in your sleep? Or clenching your jaw subconsciously due to stress?
