If you stop grinding your teeth will sensitivity to cold stop on its own or do i need to seek treatment?

I'm assuming you're relatively young. So grinding of teeth would not usually occur without a reason, and a nightguard may not be useful.


Has your dentist confirmed that your grinding habit is significantly wearing away your teeth? The enamel on teeth is extremely strong.


If your teeth are wearing down, then how much plain water do you drink? Or do you mostly have acidic drinks like sodas, juices, sports drinks,... These are the most common cause of sensitivity in young people, and a major factor in grinding.


If so, then cut out acidic drinks for 2 WEEKS, and try the GC Mousse above as suggested. You may also try Sensodyne toothpaste. If this works, then you know where your problem arises.


If the sensitivity continues, then as a last resort a Root Canal Therapy of hypersensitive teeth is required. But your dentist needs to examine all other possibilities first.

Reply:people usually grind their teeth in their sleep. you probably won't just stop doing it on your own. i use a tooth guard/appliance that just suctions on to my two front top teeth and i don't grind my teeth anymore.





i didn't have sensitivity but i was getting headaches, and i don't get as many anymore.
Reply:A few years ago I was grinding my teeth incessantly no matter the weather. I consciously grabbed hold of myself and said, "Stop it. Just STOP IT". I did. No treatment. Good luck.
Reply:The damage is probably already done. What really helps with sensitivity is "GC Tooth Mousse" its a paste that you put over your teeth at night. It makes teeth stronger, healthier etc! also at night after brushing put some tooth paste on your finger and put it on the tooth. Leave it there so it works while you sleep. This will help, hopefully.
Reply:Grinding your teeth and sensitivity to cold are two separate issues. The sensitivity will only increase if you ignore it. Next will come sensitivity to hot as well as cold. Next will come non-stop pain and a root canal or tooth extraction. Go see a dentist sooner rather than later. After the dentist has taken c/o the sensitive tooth, you can ask about the grinding problem. He'll most likely suggest a guard to break you of the habit. But don't wait-see a dentist now or you'll have more pain in the future.
