Excruciating toothache when I come in from the cold

[MitchT]

Just been out for a walk for an hour or so. After returning home I started with toothache which has now become unbearable. I've experienced this many times - basically I have sensitive teeth which react badly to the change of temperature when I've been out in the cold and come back into the warm. Does anyone else experience this and what do you do for the pain?

Time for some fillings?

No, I have a check-up every six months and my teeth are in perfect condition other than the sensitivity which I've had for years.

Already using Sensodyne. It helps a lot but doesn't seem to overcome the pain I get when I enter a warm environment from a cold one.

Do you eat a lot of fruit? Acidic stuff?

No, I have an intolerance of acidic stuff so I don't have much of it at all.

Mouthful of whisky. Don't swallow it. Just hold it in your mouth for two minutes then spit it out.
No more toothache.

Blimey! That was an experience

Not sure if the toothache has actually gone or if it's simply that I can no longer feel the inside of my mouth!

Use Sensodyne as already said, but don't rinse out afterwards to leave a coating on your teeth. Also, this is very helpful:

Well it helps if you let it into your cheeks and around yer gums

I was advised the same by my dentist.

I'd prefer "don't go out in the cold to begin with"

Put some oil of cloves on it, but don't get it on your lips......



Worse than getting Fiery Jack on your bs...........
