Damn, I do love ice cream. But, in the last several years I've
noticed a rather annoying phenomena when I eat ice cream, at least the
kind with nuts and other chewy bits (I love rocky road). My teeth
ache after eating ice cream. Even stranger, they don't hurt till a
couple hours after I've consumed the ice cream. This last time is the
worst. I woke up this morning and I *still* have a barely noticeable
ache in my teeth. Anyone have this experience? Anyone with a SO or
friend who's a dentist they could ask? I'll pull the damn things
before I give up my ice cream.

Huh. That's not your typical cold-sensitive ice cream toothache. What
happens when you eat nuts and other chewy things by themselves (not in
ice cream)? Does eating plain softserve make your teeth hurt? The fact
that the onset of pain is delayed and then it persists for so long makes
it worth mentioning to your own dentist.

Maybe the pain actually begins while you're eating but it's masked by
the high levels of Rocky Road-induced endorphins.

Sensitive teeth are common. So is exposed gum tissue. Using speical
toohtpaste for sensitive teeth might help.

I have the same problem, oddly, with sour candy. I used to love
Warheads and other sour stuff, but now if I eat it, about six of my
teeth will drive me crazy for about three days when I brush. Then it
fades away. Maybe there's some common ingredient in your Rocky Road and
my candy that makes teeth hypersensitive.

I used to have that problem with apples.
Sensodyne tooth paste is the standard treatment for sensitive teeth. Don't
expect miracles, it takes a while for the effect to build up, but it does
work.

Ditto. I've had good luck with Sensodyne. I was a'fearin' I was going to
require a root canal, as my toofs were aching and throbbing after consuming
coldish/hot foods. I'm pretty much at my dental insurance co-pay limit for
the year, and I don't relish the idea of an RC, so I purchased a tube of
Sensodyne. A week later, no pain from hot/cold foods.

Sure beats a root canal and ensuing costs!

Yech,,... gotta hate the root canal. The procedure can be bad enough but then
the tooth gets brittle and snaps off and it costs a fortune for a crown.

I had to go to a specialist for root a canal job on a molar. It was extremely
uncomfortable. I was laid back on the chair with a dental dam in my mouth,
choking and suffocating for more than 45 minutes when the guy spots a crack in
the tooth and says it is not worth finishing, says it is going to have to be
pulled. He doesn't pull teeth. I had to go to a dental surgeon.

Two years later I need another major root canal. This time I express concerns
about the discomfort and choking and gagging. No problem. Come in 45 minutes
early and get sedated. It sounded like it was worth a try. I went in early.
They sat me down in the chair, gave me a little pill to swallow and some
magazines to read. I read for a while, looked at pictures for a while,, flipped
pages idly for a while, then the assistant came in and picked the magazine up
off the floor ad asked if I was ok.

The endondits came in and asked how I was doing. Somewhere along the line I
felt something and thought to myself that it was pain, but didn't really care.
Then she said she was almost done and a few minutes later they poured me out of
the seat and helped me to the car so my wife could drive me home. She had
worked on me for over 2 hours.

Sedation is the way to go. Best money I ever spent.

my dental hygenist says not to brush with the Sensodyne.
brush with your regular toothpaste & then apply a dab of
Sensodyne to the affected teeth. she claims it works faster
that way.

One hygienist told me that it works because of the high amount of
Fluoride and recommended another toothpaste that is really high
in Fluoride. I don't remember the name but it was hard to find.
It was not in any of the grocery stores or chain drug stores. I
found it at a local independent drug store. It was close to $12
for a very small tube of it, smaller than one of those little
travel tubes.

Oh hell yes! If anything though do it either via gas or intravenous. The
IV is amazing. Needle goes in, you start counting backward from 100 and
you never even make it to 98.

Doesn't that require an anesthetist? Nice if you have money to burn.
Last time I saw an anethetist's bill, it was $450 for 20 mins and that
was 25 yrs ago. Maybe some states are different. Just gas and
novacaine are expensive enough, these days, adding anywhere from
$50-150 to the bill.

ok, i just went & checked all the toothpastes. the kid uses
Tom's strawberry w/floride. floride is .15% my Tom's baking
soda peppermint is also .15% my SO uses Crest, which is
..15%...
the only difference i see between any of those toothpastes &
the Sensodyne the dentist gave me is the Sensodyne lists
Potassiun Nitrate 5% as the other active ingredient. the
floride is .15%

If the aching doesn't occur until a couple of hours afterwards then
it's not the typical cold/sweet sensitivity issue... Sensadyne
toothpaste and its ilk won't help you. You need to visit a dentist...
the fact that you asked others to ask a dentist for you tells me you
haven't been to a dentist in many years, maybe never, UK hillybilly
mouth. Your teeth are simply rotten... probably takes hours for the
sugar to ooze through to the nerves of your rotten porous/cracked
teeth... probably have a severe case of periodontal disease as well.
Do you even own a toothbrush, probably not.
