Manletism Anyone else has teeth sensitive to sugar?

[ragemaxxed]

Title. Candy, (home made) chocolate, etc. Always get mild teeth pain after eating those, although not after hot/cold drinks or anything else, just sugars

I assume this is due to tooth enamel loss

[itsallaboutpersonality]

Iam not but I don't have that much of sugars

 

[ragemaxxed]

I can't eat sugars because of it anyway. My mom sometimes bakes stuff at home but I can barely take more than a bite w/o getting mild tooth pain

 

[ragemaxxed]

I bet there's a few overbitecels in here which have the same problem (since the condition is linked to bruxism/excessive teeth grinding, which leads to deterioration)

you haven't teethmaxxed yet!?

use sensitive toothpaste. the main abrasive is silica, ideally you want one without it. this chart is a good reference.

RDA Toothpaste Abrasiveness Chart | Essential Oxygen Organic Low Abrasion Toothpaste

BR | Organic Toothpaste is the lowest abrasion toothpaste available with a Relative Dentin Abrasivity (RDA) level of 12. That means our toothpaste is only slightly more abrasive than brushing with plain water.

essentialoxygen.com

also brush thoroughly but not too firmly, but not right after eating. give it a good 30 mins or the enamel will get brushed away. obviously floss thoroughly and frequently.

ideally you want to salivate to coat your teeth in protective saliva prior to eating acidic/sugary foods, but this might happen automatically.

i recommend using tooth mousse every couple months. you can also get a high concentration fluorine toothpaste without a prescription to use every so often in conjunction with your normal toothpaste.

but if the sensitive toothpaste doesnt fix you issue in the next few weeks, i guess you might have a cavity youll need fixed. are you sensitive to cold water and ice cream?

No

I've had the sweet food issue for years now. I doubt toothpaste is going to restore enamel

 

[Avarcel]

It's more that abrasive toothlaste will continue to wear away at the enamel. It does restore over time to some extent if you make the right moves.

Your sensitive teeth are the reason you don't have a gf. They can smell your lack of enamel. Sort out this problem and all the girls will be lining up!!

"Health issues" like these are often caused by underlying dentofacial problems

Something about looks having a strong correlation with health

Stress exacerbates this problem, and I often used to wake up with a sore jaw after grinding my teeth involuntarily during the night. I'm pretty sure this is part (if not most) of the problem

Do you always experience sensitivity to them? You might need to change your diet, lots of acidic foods/drinks

Yes

I don't eat that many acidic foods/drinks, I don't think at least

Sugar does have the effect of destroying enamel. Its because the bacteria in our mouth produces acid after consuming the sugars. Acid corrodes the enamel. There is nothing good about having simple sugars

Good. You will have many years on this planet to plan your vengeance (in FF 16)

Try to use sugar-free gums after eating sugary things I guess

I have a whitening toothpaste. Should I worry?

Whitening toothpastes are very bad



Healthy teeth are not white anyways, they just make your teeth more prone to the attacks of the bacteria

Probably not

whitening toothpaste works in one of two ways.
1. it is extremely abrasive and wears away the outer layer of stained enamel, showing the whiter enamel underneath. This is very bad for your teeth
2. it uses hydrogen peroxide to stain your teeth white, counteracting the brown staining you currently have on your outer enamel. this is absolutely fine for your teeth but pretty much ineffective.

You're better off using normal or sensitive toothpaste and using teeth whitening strips every so often. The teeth whitening strips leave hydrogen peroxide on your teeth for an hour to stain it way more effective than the toothpaste. You can also go to the dentist for a treatment where they stain your teeth using a higher concentration of hydrogen peroxide than the strips.

My Crest toothpaste uses Hydrogen Peroxide. It makes my teeth 2 shades brighter. Not the three shades it advertises on the box.

I believe I have Crest whitening strips somewhere, but the box hasn't been opened for more than two years.
