How To Reduce Teeth Pain Caused By Cold Water?

I have had fillings put in last year, and my teeth have been pain free.
all of a sudden they are hurting like crazy again.

I've tried cold water and it works momentarily, is there something that will alleviate the pain caused by the cold water?
It's making it so that I cannot sleep.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR CONCERN.

Thanks for your query.The pain in tooth indicates many things like gum recession which exposes the dentoenamel juction or dentin present on the root of the tooth , other reasons are irreversible damage to the tooth due to deep down infection in tooth caused by leakage in filling material which usually happens with time.

I would suggest you to consult dentist for proper examination .Dentist may pull out the filling and refill it by applying liner or base under the filling,he/she extract the tooth in case or irreversible damage or graft can be given in case of gum recession.

For now what you can do is take painkillers like ibuprofen or declofenac and apply anti sensitivity tooth paste like thermoseal for 10 mins on affected tooth then rinse it. Maintain oral hygiene and avoid too hot and cold beverages.

Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
