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
