What Causes Tingling In Lower Teeth?
My top part of my lower two teeth are tingling. When I eating, I don't feel anything, but opening my mouth and taking in air and while brushing hurts. I am very young (20 years old). Can my enamel be the problem at this age? What can i do? It only started for the part few days.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The tingling sensation in the lower front teeth can be because of the attrition secondary to bruxism or maloclusion like deep bite. The other possible cause can be because of the cervical abrasion due to abnormal forces while brushing or it can be secondary to gingival recession because of gum infection.
Nothing to be panic, Consult a oral physician and get it ruled out. If it is a attrition secondary to malocclusion, it has to be treated with braces. If it is secondary to the cervical abrasion then it can be restored with glass ionomer cement. If it is a gum infection, then the teeth has to be cleaned.
Mean while till you consult your dentist you can use desensitising tooth paste like strontium chloride(sensoform or senolin), apply on the teeth and leave it for two minutes and brush it with normal brush. Instead of normal tooth paste you can use this.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.

Hi
Thanks for writing in.
It could be due to wearing away of enamel from teeth due to hard brushing.
You need to use desensitizing tooth & if problem still persists then go for RCT & capping.
Visit your dentist for further opinion.
