Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Sensitivity while taking cold fluids in lower teeth may be due to-
Periodontitis.
Gingival recession.
Cervical abrasion.
I would advice you to get deep scaling done.
Exposed /abraded portion of tooth has to be restored with tooth coloured filling material.
Use soft bristled toothbrush to clean your teeth.
Avoid vigorous brushing methods.
Use chlorhexidine mouthrinse to gargle.
Hope this helps.
