So I was at the dentist a few months ago, after having not gone for years, and they had me on a schedule of visits to remove my cavities.Apparently I also had a sensitive nerve in my back teeth. The dentist even showed that to me on the xrays.Okay, so in one of the visits, the dentist's assistant was set to rinse my mouth out after they were done doing the side of my mouth, specifically the two back teeth with the sensitive nerve. The assistant knows I have a sensitive nerve, has been told repeatedly. So she goes to spray the tooth, and what happened was a huge ball of pain that had me reaching over to grab my jaw and tell her to stop. This was just water. But holy shit, directly onto the tooth that was sensitive.I couldn't move my hands or my mouth or my head in that situation cause, the dentist lady had a fucking drill and pointy hook deep inside my mouth.But holy shit, after my sissy ass mumbled screaming got them to stop and the dentist lady got her tools out of my mouth, the assistant looked at me like I was a little crybaby bitch that couldn't take the pain.I mean what could I have done in that situation really? I honestly did not expect it to hurt that much, cause when I drink cold water, yeah, I feel a bit of pain, but I'm able to brace for it by biting my gums and just drinking at my own pace if need be. But this... man, the water was sprayed directly on my tooth. That assistant they should been more gentle about it, right? It wasn't even ice cold water. That's what scares me. It was closer to room temperature water.Anybody here with cold sensitive teeth know what I'm talking about? How am I supposed to deal with future dentist visits where they have to spray my tooth with water?This was the one procedure where the dentist didn't use anesthesia cause it was a surface level cleaning, and they had already done the cavity removal stuff a month earlier. They had some gripe about giving me unnecessary anesthesia cause it's bad for my body.
just take vitamins D3 and K2, they repair teeth

>>34551790If lukewarm water on a tooth causes you intense pain, that nerve is probably dying.And you can't see a nerve in an x-ray so I know what the hell you are talking about.You can see a void around the root of the tooth from the bone dedensifying if an infection is slowly eating away at the root of the tooth.. Nobody in their right mind is going to give you anesthesia for a cleaning.As another anon said, K2, D3, calcium citrate and magnesium glycinate taken together can help you grow more Dentin inside your tooth which can sometimes extend the life of a tooth.You can also use sensodyne. Potassium nitrate reduces sensitivity by clogging tubules.
>>34551790You had a bad experience but it was clearly an unusual one, and they couldn't have anticipated it. Your one real complaint is that they should have been more sympathetic and apologetic about it.

>>34552035>If lukewarm water on a tooth causes you intense pain, that nerve is probably dying.It wasn't warm water. I said it was close to room temperature. Warm water doesn't affect me at all.>And you can't see a nerve in an x-ray so I know what the hell you are talking about.I didn't say they saw the nerve. I said they used the x-rays and determined that because of how deep my cavities were, that I probably had a sensitive nerve. They also said that since my nerve wasn't causing me pain all the time and only when in contact with cold, that I don't need a root canal at this time but I might in the future if it gets worse.>You can also use sensodyne.Yeah they gave me samples of that to try and it did absolutely fuck all to help with the sensitivity. I used it for a whole week. What it did do though was get metabolized into the rest of my body making me feel an annoying puffy itchy feeling inside my flesh that lasts for 24 hours each time. I hated that shit, so I stopped using it.
