Changing and often cold weather affects health and our teeth are no exception. The teeth become more sensitive during cold periods often and dental pain may occur. This is often caused by the use of hot drinks (after a long time in cold weather), as well as frequent pressure in the cold. However, these symptoms usually occur to those who have defects in their oral cavity, such as, for example, periodontitis disease, enamel-lost teeth, melted bone, etc.

What should I do to prevent dental sensitivity and pain when the weather is cold?

• Choose the right dental care products. Clean your teeth with a soft brush, choose a toothpaste for sensitive teeth or a fluoride paste. It is also important to keep in mind the interdental spaces (to clean with a dental flosser or brush), where the most bacteria accumulate.
• Professional oral hygiene should be performed regularly. Teeth are damaged by professional oral hygiene, rarely performed, one of the consequences is open tooth roots, so in cold weather you complain of toothache.
• Try to breathe only through your nose. Jaws, lips and tongue hold all the warm in the oral cavity, so when you breathe through your nose, your teeth are protected from sudden changes in temperature.
• If the pain persists and continues for a long time, consult a dentist. Having examined your teeth he (she) will give you the most appropriate treatment.
