I Have A Small Crack On My Tooth. Is There Any Chance This Could Be Down To Gum Recession?

January 6th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dimitrios. I have a horizontal line (possibly a crack) on my lower left incisor, just above the gum line. It has recently been very sensitive to cold drinks. Could this be linked to gum recession? Or due to a cracked tooth? The crack is at the front of the tooth, not the back as far as I an tell. The ridge or crack is barely visible, but I can feel it if I run my nail over it. I have a dentist appointment next week, but I am worried about leaving it so long.

Thanks.

Q.

I think I have a mild case of gum disease, admittedly I got lazy with brushing my teeth when I had my baby 3 months ago so I’m now paying for y actions. Only a small area of my gum is now swollen and sore as I have been using eludril whilst I’m waiting to see the dentist, however since I’ve been using it for the last few days, I woke up today and my gums are even more painful!! My gums are starting to look better but the pain is worse, is this normal?? Thanks

My front tooth is sensitive to cold and gums are red and sore. What is the cause?

January 4th, 2012
Q.

Hello Jose,

Ive recently gotten over a nasty head cold and am experiencing mild upper jaw pain I was thinking that this was my sinuses as Ive had that happen before. However, I also have slightly red, but sore gums above two teeth on that side, a few teeth in from my front ones, and one in particular is sensitive to touch or cold air. I first noticed its sensitivity when I went to a hygienist appointment 3 weeks ago and the scrapping caused a sharp sensitive pain. I go to the dentist once a year and the hygienist every 6 months religiously and try to take care of my teeth, so would be suprised if this was cavity pain. I have noticed an increase in the sensitivity of all of my teeth recently perhaps because I had to change from my electric toothbrush to a normal one for a while? Or do you think this is the start of gum disease?
I’m 27, and have no history of gum disease…had no fillings either.
Thanks!

I have a stinging pain in my gum when I drink hot/cold drinks. What is this?

September 28th, 2011
Q.

Hi Doc
I’ve been having pain on my right upper and lower teeth line that has been bothering me for some time now.Whenever i drink too cold or too hot fluids i get a sharp stinging pain on the right side teeth.
What do you think could the problem be?
Could it simply be because of the plaque buildup? Who should i visit for this, is there any particular type of dental practice?
Please reply.
Thanks
very much
