tooth sensitivity
Enamel nerve pain
Tooth sensitivity is a sharp, sudden pain in one or more teeth triggered by hot, cold, sweet, or acidic foods and drinks, or by breathing cold air.
It occurs when the protective enamel wears down or gums recede, exposing the underlying dentin and its nerve-connected tubules.
I can't drink ice water anymore because of my tooth sensitivity.
The condition ranges from occasional twinges to chronic discomfort requiring dental treatment.
