A sharp, brief response to cold, sweet, or touch can occur when dentine tubules are exposed by gum recession, enamel wear, abrasion, or a worn restoration. Pain that lingers or occurs without a trigger needs a different assessment.

The dentist checks the gumline, enamel, fillings, bite, and pulp response. Management may include fluoride or desensitising products, bonding over exposed areas, treating decay or cracks, adjusting harmful brushing forces, or treating the pulp when it is inflamed.

Brush gently with a soft brush and use toothpaste formulated for sensitivity as directed. Spit rather than aggressively rinsing after brushing, and reduce repeated exposure to acidic drinks while the cause is assessed.

Book a dental visit if sensitivity is new, worsening, localised to one tooth, triggered by biting, or lasts after the stimulus is removed. Seek urgent care for swelling, fever, or severe spontaneous pain.

Ask whether the pain is from exposed dentine, decay, a crack, a filling, or the pulp. Ask how long to try desensitising care and what finding would mean that a procedure is needed.
