Advice from the Doctors at Ledismile Dental Clinic

Have you ever stepped outside into the cold air and suddenly felt a sharp pain in your teeth?
Or noticed that the warm tea that once felt soothing now causes discomfort?

👉 It’s not a coincidence. Winter doesn’t create dental problems – it reveals the ones that already exist.

When enamel is worn down, gums have receded, or small cracks and old fillings are present, cold air acts like a stress test for your teeth.
Healthy teeth tolerate it. Those needing care… react.

🔍 Why Does Tooth Sensitivity Increase in Winter?

• Sudden temperature changes (cold → hot)

• Mouth breathing and dryness

• Weakened enamel from aggressive brushing or teeth grinding

• Exposed roots due to gum recession

• Hidden problems like cavities, old fillings, or micro-cracks

⚠️ Winter Habits That Worsen Tooth Pain

• Moving immediately from cold air to very hot drinks

• Drinking too little water

• Consuming sugary & acidic foods

• Delaying dental visits
