I have pain in my teeth/gums - pain is not in a specific tooth. I have difficulty saying exactly where it is. Also it comes and goes - ie it is not there all the time, Comes on quickly when I have a hot drink. Does not occur when I am brushing my teeth or if I touch them.
I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..
As per your complain it seems that you are suffering from Dentinal Hypersensitivity that is due to exposure of the nerve fibers that are present inside the teetjh and as you take hot fluid there is irritation of nerve fibers leading to sensitivity that you are eliciting as pain.. Other cause can be gum inflammation leading to Gingivitis.. I would suggest you to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly.. In case of hypersensitivity desensitizing tooth paste can be advised that has to be applied twice a week.. Avoid intake of very hot or very chilled foods.. In case of gum infection Scaling, desensitizing tooth paste and antibiotics can be advised..
Hope this information helps..
Thanks and regards. Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
