If your teeth hurt when you drink hot or cold beverages, you may have sensitive teeth. This can be the result of tooth decay, fractured teeth, worn fillings, gum disease, worn tooth enamel or an exposed tooth root due to gum recession. Treatment will depend on the source of sensitivity. If youĂre concerned about the sensitivity of your teeth see your dentist for diagnosis and treatment options.

Types of mouth sores include canker sores, cold sores, leukoplakia and candidiasis. They vary in their severity and causes. Mouth sores could be the symptom of a disease or disorder; infection from bacteria, viruses or fungus or result from irritation caused by braces, dentures or the sharp edge of a broken tooth or filling. Your dentist should examine any mouth sore that lasts a week or longer.
A cracked or broken tooth can happen for a variety of reasons—brittle teeth, teeth grinding, injury. The crack may be invisible to the naked eye and even X-ray, but they can be incredibly painful and create bigger problems if left untreated. If you experience pain when chewing see your dentist. They can diagnose the cause and develop a plan for treatment.
What Causes Tooth Enamel Damage? Enamel
is kind of like the shell of an egg: it protects the softer, more vulnerable
part of the tooth inside. But unlike
an eggshell, the thin layer of enamel is tough. In fact, enamel is the hardest
substance in the body. It can withstand decades of biting, chewing and
crunching -- with some luck and good dental care. Above article from: WebMD.com/oral-health
