How to control pain and tooth sensitivity with beverages?
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
My teeth have been worn out for the past four years. I have had many root canal treatments and extractions. The tooth present on the lower left side causes pain and sensitivity while drinking fresh or diluted orange juices and beer. I have sharp pain when I wake up, especially while eating or on air exposure. I think it requires root canal treatment. The pain subsides after a day. These symptoms have lasted for the past 1.5 years. Please help.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Please provide a picture for diagnosis. Acidic fruit juices and cold drinks cause tooth sensitivity due to erosion. So limit your intake of acidic juices and beer.
I hope this has helped you. Please feel free to reach me again, in case of further queries.
Thank you.

Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
From the images attached (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity), you have periodontitis with enamel erosion. It occurs due to long-term exposure to acidic drinks. In addition, bleeding occurs due to improper brushing habits. I suggest you to follow the below steps;
1. Use fluoridated mouthwash twice daily.
2. Brush your teeth twice daily.
Could you provide me with your past medical history?

Thank you doctor for the reply,
I was diagnosed with hypertension. I have been drinking carbonated beverages for the past 15 years. I drink two cans daily, but I have decided to stop now.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
1. Use fluoride toothpaste and mouthwash. Fluoride will strengthen your teeth.
2. Consult a dentist for tooth bonding, veneer, or crown for the damaged teeth.
3. Avoid drinking carbonated drinks, beer, orange, and lime juice.
4. To prevent bad breath, drink plenty of water. Review after three days.
