Why Are Teeth More Sensitive in Winter?

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


🪥 5 Quick Tips from Our Doctors

1️⃣ Use toothpaste for sensitive teeth
2️⃣ Brush gently without excessive pressure
3️⃣ Protect your mouth from cold air (scarf/mask)
