Tooth sensitivity and a toothache feel different, but both mean something is wrong and needs to be checked. Sensitivity is a quick, sharp \u201czing\u201d to cold, heat, sweet, or air, while a toothache is more constant, may throb or radiate, and often worsens over time; painkillers alone do not address the cause, and problems usually progress if left untreated.<\/p>

At Dental Solutions Clinic in Indiranagar, Bangalore, Dr. Ramya Balasubramanya (MDS Prosthodontics, BDS Gold Medallist) manages tooth\u2011 and nerve\u2011related causes, and Dr. Balasubramanya K V, MDS Periodontics, manages gum\u2011 and bone\u2011related causes. Their first priority is a clear diagnosis; pain relief is always combined with finding and treating the source of the problem, not just masking symptoms.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Tooth sensitivity occurs when exposed dentine reacts to hot or cold temperatures, touch, air, or sweet or acidic foods. According to hydrodynamic theory, those triggers move fluid through tiny dentine tubes, which then stimulate nerves near the pulp and cause brief, sharp pain, especially where enamel has worn away or gums have receded.<\/p>

Toothache is usually linked to deeper problems such as an inflamed or infected pulp, a dead nerve, an abscess at the root tip, or a cracked tooth. Whether the pain is triggered or spontaneous, short or lingering, sharp or throbbing, and easy or hard to locate gives key clues to the diagnosis.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
